The journalists at MLex and FTCWatch have formed a union and are seeking recognition from parent company LexisNexis.
The MLex Guild has more than 20 members and will be a unit of the Washington-Baltimore News Guild, which is part of the Communications Workers of America. It has employees based in Washington, San Francisco and New York.
MLex covers regulatory, mergers and acquisitions, antitrust and data privacy stories.
The effort received unanimous support from eligible employees. LexisNexis is also the parent of Law360, whose employees unionized in 2016.
