Today, Hunter is joined by three members of the Bronx Defenders Union, Tyler Johnson, Katerine Azcona, and Marlene Marte. This episode comes on the heels of the Bronx Defenders Union authorizing a strike starting July 1. Over the past several months, the union and leadership have been unable to come to terms on a contract, and now, we could see the first strike in NY Public Defense since 1993. What is driving it? Why has the union reached this point? All that and more on today's episode!

Guests:

Tyler Johnson, Legal Advocate, Civil Action Practice, Bronx Defenders

Marlene Marte, Immigration Legal Advocate, Bronx Defenders

Katherine Azcona, Staff Attorney, Family Defense, Bronx Defenders
