abstract:Legal Services NYC (LS-NYC) is a 45 year old non-profit agency that is providing free civil legal assistance to low income people in New York City]. The community-based organization serves more than 50,000 clients annually.
More than 200 attorneys and support workers with LegalServicesNYC, which aids impoverished New Yorkers, walked off the job Wednesday in a dispute over salary increases and retirement and health-care benefits.
Under the pilot program -- approved earlier this year but mired in legal drama ever since -- services like Uber and Hailo could be used in NYC's approximately 13K yellow cabs.
