History Of The Association Of Legal Aid Attorneys Uaw Local 2325
The document provides a history of the Association of Legal Aid Attorneys union (ALAA) from its founding in 1968 through 1999. It summarizes that ALAA was founded to advocate for improved working conditions and client representation at the New York Legal Aid Society. In its early years from 1968-1972, ALAA fought for basic resources like offices, phones, training and continuity of client representation. This led to its first strike in 1970. Strikes in 1973 and 1974 achieved some gains but also faced judicial backlash. ALAA continued advocating for clients and fighting for improvements over the decades.
