(NEW YORK CITY) - The Unionized Staff of MFJ Legal Services are accusing MFJ Management of using Union Busting tactics as the Legal Workers wrap up their fifth week on Strike.

Earlier this week, Union Members confirmed management has hired strikebreakers to replace some of the 109 Unionized Employees who have been on Strike since February 23rd.

Last week, Union Members were alerted to several job postings by Vanguard Staffing for temporary Para-Legal and Attorney positions at MFJ.

On Monday (March 25th), the Union held a morning picket outside MFJ's Manhattan office to confront strikebreakers as they arrived for their first day of work.

The entrances to all sides of the office at 100 William Street were full of Union Members who were joined by other Unionized Legal Services Workers, as well as Scabby the Rat.

The Union held a hour-long rally where hundreds of fliers about the scabs were distributed, including directly to some of the strikebreakers as they entered the building.

"MFJ cannot run a legal services non-profit on scab labor," said Ella Abeo, a Union Bargaining Team Member and Para-Legal in MFJ's Housing Project. "By hiring untrained strikebreakers, management is conceding that it cannot sustain the volume of cases without proper staffing.  MFJ needs to meet the Union's demands so that we can get back to work helping clients."
