Man of the hour with our sister union last year!
A tweet from Zohran Mamdani reading "Proud to join the @Law360Union picket line and fight for better working conditions. Law360 union members are on strike this week for a fair contract. All workers deserve livable wages, affordable healthcare, and the right to not be terminated on a whim."

Last night our DC members got together to make signage to decorate the office and make it even harder to ignore our need for a fair contract now!

Today the members of MLex Guild held a newsroom-wide WFH sick-out to tell management we’re sick of them dragging their feet on rectifying the changes to our health insurance options they made last year, in a violation of status quo.

Hello everyone! We're the union for MLex and we're expanding our fight for a fair contract to Bluesky! Today we delivered this letter to management demanding they stop misclassifying members of our unit, with 100% of our membership signing.
Dear Teresa, Richard and Tony, Two weeks ago at our last bargaining session, we offered to create a standing date for bargaining because scheduling has been chaotic and slow. We’re still waiting for new dates to be proposed, and our offer to create a standing time remains. Meanwhile, we’ve decided to put in writing our response to the company’s wage proposals and inappropriate title proposals that shunt our members into salary bands that do not correspond with their experience levels. We intend to bargain and win higher salaries for our lowest-paid coworkers. They are reporters. They do the work of reporters, and MLex has been benefiting from underpaying them for their work for too long. MLex’s value proposition to our readers is “reliable legal news and predictive analysis.” This promise is increasingly critical in a world of ever-expanding, complex and interconnected laws and regulations. It is deeply disappointing that the company is willing to entrust us with providing unbiased, timely insights into complex economic and legal disputes, but at the same time rejects our evidence-based, firsthand accounts of the work we do every day. The best way for MLex to show its commitment to editorial excellence and employee satisfaction is to put the company’s money where its mouth is. Instead, management has dangled raises over new and younger employees’ heads as an enticement to join our ranks, only to later deny doing so. Management has also failed to adequately train reporters to build their skills, while MLex Guild members have stepped up to do so in their absence. It’s become clear that management never intended to give us the salaries we deserve, matching our Law360 colleagues’ fair standards. MLex, FTCWatch and Law360 know we’re stronger together. In order to ensure a successful integration, and salaries reflective of our skills and potential, we will continue to fight with our collective might for the contract we deserve. Sincerely, Members of the MLex Guild and Law…
