The Legal Services Staff Association is a "wall-to-wall" union representing the secretaries, paralegals, receptionists, process servers, social workers, attorneys and other non-management employees of Legal Services for New York City (LSNY) and MFY Legal Services. Founded in 1973 LSSA is now a unit of the National Organization of Legal Services Workers (NOLSW), Local 2320 of the United Auto Workers.
Our members serve low income persons and communities throughout New York City in civil legal matters including housing, domestic violence, public benefits, education, family, community economic development, HIV/AIDS and mental health. We are dedicated to making it possible for our members to make careers in Legal Services through a fair labor contract and a dignified work environment. This allows us to provide high quality legal services in the communities we serve.
