Law360 Union members will begin picketing at 12:30 p.m. at LexisNexis HQ, 230 Park Ave., in New York.
Last month, 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.
“This walkout is an unequivocal demonstration of solidarity for our co-workers who lost their jobs,” said Hailey Konnath, a reporter for the legal news site and unit chair for the union. “The success of Law360 is due in no small part to us and the work we produce. Today we are showing the company that we – including those who lost their jobs – are Law360.”
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.
