Together, the individual grievances, the union’s actions and the combined advocacy have resulted in a strong settlement, including the relaunch of the Program, priority consideration for LP-01s eligible for promotion in August 2025, and compensation.

Program relaunch by April 2027
Your union negotiated terms of settlement include the Department of Justice’s stated goal to relaunch the Program no later than April 1, 2027. The Department will meaningfully consult the your union prior to the Program’s relaunch.

Priority promotion for eligible LP-01s in August 2025 cohort
LP-01 members who would have been eligible for a promotion in August 2025, whether a workplan was submitted or not at that time, and who remain in the Program, will receive instructions on next steps regarding their workplans. The Employer will begin the workplan review process before the relaunch of the Program.

These members will be the first group considered for promotion, with promotions expected within 60 days of the Program relaunch.

Compensation for LP-01s
LP-01 members who were in the Program as of August 7, 2025, will be compensated, whether or not they filed an individual grievance. 

• If you filed a grievance, you will receive compensation in exchange for signing a consent and release to withdraw it
• If you did not file a grievance, you will receive compensation in exchange for signing a release 

The Employer will send consent and release forms on or shortly after April 16, 2026. Forms must be submitted to the Employer by May 31, 2026.
