Wayne County Lawyers Strike for Fair Pay | Detroit News

Attorneys at Neighborhood Defender Service in Wayne County are on strike, demanding their current healthcare and a raise that keeps pace with inflation—not asking for new benefits. The walkout threatens clients facing criminal charges, as supervisors scramble to cover court dates, but tensions are rising—with one lawyer already facing disciplinary action and judges threatening contempt charges. The organization insists the strike isn’t about eliminating benefits, offering instead a guaranteed 3% annual raise that boosts take-home pay, while pledging to keep client representation uninterrupted.
