Thomson Reuters Settles With Union, Avoids Federal Labor Charges
Tentative agreement includes $7 million payment

The tentative agreement, which was reached Friday and is subject to guild members’ approval, also addressed a dispute over an employee who was disciplined for criticizing Thomson Reuters via Twitter.
