Appellate Advocates is unionizing to build a stronger coalition of legal workers who benefit from strong workplace protections as we fight for our clients.

[AppAdUnion @appadunion]

9.15.21 Update: Appellate Advocates’ management has decided to voluntarily recognize the union. Thank you everyone for all your strong solidarity! Without, the outpouring support from all of you this wouldn't have been possible. This is just beginning! @alaa2325 #appadunite

[UAW @UAW]

Workers at The Children's Law Center in Brooklyn, NY are walking off the job and standing up until they get the fair and equitable contract they deserve! @ABetterCLCNY #UAW #1u

[A Better NYLAG @ABetterNYLAG]

We had a great time at our monthly union lunch yesterday! Since the weather was so nice, we ate overlooking the East River on Pier 15.

[UAW @UAW]

@bds_union members at Brooklyn Defender Services in NYC are demanding that management bargain in good faith by offering serious counters. Stop stalling at the table after more than a year of negotiations!

Solidarity!

Right now @GovKathyHochul is pushing to upend bail *and* discovery laws.

That means more people in deathtrap jails without a trial, for longer, and without access to evidence in their cases.

That means more Kaliefs.

@AndreaSCousins and @CarlHeastie must reject it all.

[UAW Region 9A @UAWRegion9A]

A 🧵 on labor and bail reform: UAW Region 9A opposes Governor Hochul’s proposed changes to the landmark 2019 Bail Reforms. As part of the labor movement, we stand against a system which benefits the wealthy, while average working-class people languish in jail, awaiting trial.

[ALAA - UAW 2325 @alaa2325]

ALAA calls on Senate Majority Leader @AndreaSCousins , Assembly Speaker @CarlHeastie and legislators, to continue to stand against these misguided rollbacks of Bail Reform and advance a budget that truly serves the needs of our members and all New Yorkers.

[NYSDA @NYSDefenders]

The changes to NY's bail reform must stop now. Stand firm @AndreaSCousins @CarlHeastie @NYSenDems

[OAD Union @OAD_union]

Huge congrats to our union siblings at Appellate Advocates! Appellate defenders and strong unions go together like fine wine and something that pairs really well with fine wine

[AppAdUnion @appadunion]

Happy to announce that, by a UNANIMOUS vote, we have ratified our first contract!

[OAD Union @OAD_union]

A very exciting (and only slightly belated) announcement: in January, members of the OAD Union voted *unanimously* to ratify our first ever contract!

Curious about what a union could do for your workplace? Let’s walk through a few of the many improvements we won for our members:

[The Legal Aid Society @LegalAidNYC]

.@GovKathyHochul's FY24 budget:

❌fails to fund public defense
❌fails to protect hard-fought bail reforms
❌fails to provide sufficient solutions for NY's housing crisis
❌fails to protect youth from invasive police interrogations

Last week, the Staff Attorneys at RiseBoro LEAP announced their intent to form a union. Read their statement requesting voluntary recognition! #1U

[UAW Region 9A @UAWRegion9A]

The NY Senate Judiciary Committee must reject LaSalle’s nomination today. We must confirm a Justice that will protect the rights of ALL New Yorkers, not just a select few. #NoonLaSalle

[NYSACDL @NYSACDL]

NYSACDL is profoundly disappointed in @GovKathyHochul’s nomination for Chief Judge of the Court of Appeals. The New York State Senate should not confirm Justice Hector LaSalle.

[Legal Services Staff Assn @LSSA2320]

LSSA joins our parent union, @UAW, and other major unions in opposing @GovKathyHochul's Justice LaSalle nomination--New York is a union town and this nomination must be withdrawn #TheCourtNYDeserves

[Brian Romero, MSW @Brianr4NY]

A reminder that if you have not contacted your Senator to vote #NoOnLaSalle you should do so now. We are 1 away from defeating this nomination. https://t.co/PYqNLr3UIP

[Jabari Brisport @JabariBrisport]

There are 1000 things to do in Albany next year regarding child care, housing, climate, decarceration, etc.

Debating whether to confirm a conservative judge who's received unprecedented pushback would be a distraction.

Governor should pull the LaSalle nomination and replace it.
