Arbitrator Rules That People Staff Aren't Required To Work On Their Site

An arbitrator has ordered Time Inc. to tell People staff that working on their magazine’s web site is not mandatory, The Newspaper Guild reports.

This comes after editors at Time Inc.-owned Fortune and Time told their staffs that they would be required to work for the dot-com operations, and that part of their compensation would be based on that work.

The argument started in September 2008 when a People staff member e-mailed management asking whether dot-com work was mandatory.
