Law360 laid off 10% of its editorial staff

Law360 laid off 10% of its editorial staff, reports Natalie Korach of The Wrap.

Korach writes, “Law360 is a subscription-based, legal news outlet delivering breaking news and analysis. It is operated by Portfolio Media, Inc., a subsidiary of LexisNexis, which acquired Portfolio Media in 2012.

“In December, unionized editorial staffers for Law360 held a one-day strike in opposition of unfair labor practices by parent company LexisNexis.

“The NewsGuild of New York filed an unfair labor practice charge on behalf of Law360 Union against LexisNexis in December. The basis for the charge was a November bargaining session with management in which they allegedly threatened union members with less favorable terms the longer negotiations continued.”
