The Association of Legal Aid Attorneys, UAW Local 2325, agreed to pay the three pro-Israel members a total of $315,000 and admitted that some of the comments leveled at the trio were “inappropriate.” “We’re happy for our clients, and for the precedent this settlement establishes for Jewish and allied union members across the country laboring against an obsessive focus on demonizing Israel and Jews, instead of a focus on fighting for better wages, benefits and working conditions,” said Rory Lancman, director of corporate initiatives & senior Counsel at the Brandeis Center, who led the prosecution for the plaintiffs. The ALAA had even initiated proceedings to expel the three Nassau County members — Ilana Kopmar, Diane Clarke and Isaac Altman — after they filed a lawsuit last year to block the union from passing a one-sided resolution that condemned Israel for the war, but didn’t blame Hamas, whose Oct. 7, 2023 terror attacks sparked the conflict.
