On this episode, three members of the Neighborhood Defender Service (NDS) Union in Detroit join Hunter: Daniel Eichinger, Megan Gokey and Joe McGuire. The last time NDS Union members came on the show, they explained why they were on strike. After winning a new, fair contract, these three detail how two judges tried, and failed, to hold them in contempt for missing court while on strike.
