Insider’s Historic Strike Ends as Union Agrees to New Contract

The union at Insider, the digital news outlet dedicated to business and tech news, has reached a deal with its management, ending a historic 13-day strike that almost completely shut down the newsroom after the company laid off dozens of employees.

“Insider is a great place to work, and we're proud that the CBA formalizes many of our existing practices, policies, and benefits, including freedom to work from anywhere in the US, top of the market pay, 16 weeks of parental leave, and a commitment to building a diverse and equitable workplace,” the company’s president Barbara Peng wrote in an email to employees on Wednesday. “Over the past two years we have worked diligently to develop a contract that works for our union members, as well as the entire Insider team. That's why we're extending some great new benefits to all of our employees as well, including funds to put towards mental health and prescription costs.”

Staffers will return to work on Thursday, the guild announced.
