Law360 Union Reaches Transformative Contract Deal, Ending Strike

Unionized editorial workers at LexisNexis-owned Law360 have reached a tentative five-year contract deal that, among many gains, lifts wages by an average of 12%, increases family leave to 14 weeks, includes an average bonus of $9,000 and ensures strong job protections on AI and more. Guild members, who are represented by The NewsGuild of New York, had been on a ULP strike for a week.

"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." Read more highlights of the deal here.
