(NEW YORK CITY) - Editorial Workers represented by NewsGuild of New York-Communications Workers of America (TNG-CWA) Local 31003 who are employed at LexisNexis-owned Law360 have reached a tentative agreement for a new, five-year contract, Union Officials have announced.

The deal marks the end of a week-long Unfair Labor Practice (ULP) Strike over unilateral changes to their health care plan and the illegal layoffs of their colleagues earlier this year.

The agreement secures major gains for the 250 TNG-CWA Journalists at Law360, including average wage increases of 12%, increased family leave to 14 weeks, an average bonus of $9,000, and strong job protections on Artificial Intelligence (AI).

“What this tentative agreement represents is our unwavering belief in our value as Workers,” said Hailey Konnath, a Reporter for Law360 and Union Unit Chair. “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 was scheduled for Monday, September 23rd.
