Law360 Union Wins Tentative Agreement, Ending ULP Strike

Law360 Workers End ULP Strike

Editorial workers at LexisNexis-owned Law360 have reached a tentative agreement for a new, five-year contract. The deal marks the end of a weeklong unfair labor practice strike over unilateral changes to their healthcare plan and the illegal layoffs of their colleagues earlier this year.

The tentative agreement secures major gains for the 250 NewsGuild of New York-represented (TNG-CWA Local 31003) journalists at Law360, including average wage increases of 12 percent, increased family leave to 14 weeks, an average bonus of $9,000, and strong job protections on artificial intelligence.

“What this tentative agreement represents is our unwavering belief in our value as workers,” said Hailey Konnath, a reporter for Law360 and unit chair for the union. “We refused to accept anything less than a contract that recognized our worth. This past week on the picket line we saw—and felt—the power of solidarity not only among ourselves but from the entire labor community. It’s that power and strength that got us to this point and earned us this tentative deal.”

A ratification vote for Guild members is scheduled for September 23.
