Workers at Law360, a subscription-based legal news service, are on a one day unfair labor practice strike today over their parent company LexisNexis and their failure to bargain in good faith with the union. Specifically, LexisNexis has levied severe layoffs against the Law360 newsroom and slow-walked contract negotiations, which have now been ongoing for a year and three months with no resolution (Law360 Union's contract expired at the end of 2022.)
In a press release on the subject, The NewsGuild of New York stated that:
Just a month ago, LexisNexis executives congratulated themselves on the company achieving its highest revenue growth in decades. The same day, management announced they would lay off 26 members of the Law360 Union.
The union’s current contract expired on Dec. 31, 2022, and negotiations have been ongoing since then to finalize a new collective bargaining agreement. Changes to workplace terms and conditions, including layoffs, after a contract has expired must be negotiated and agreed to by the Guild. Failure to maintain the workplace status quo is a violation of labor law and is the basis of an unfair labor practice charge filed by The NewsGuild of New York on behalf of Law360 Union earlier this month.
The main aim of this walkout is to reinstate all Law360 workers that have been fired, and to bring Law360 to the table so any layoffs needed can occur through a structured contract bargaining process. Workers will be picketing LexisNexis HQ (230 Park Ave) starting at 12:30pm ET and will be rallying at 1pm.
