Next Week: IAPE 101
/If you were recently hired by Dow Jones, or if you transferred from a non-union position into your current role sometime over the past year, and if you ever wondered where you can go to find out more about this thing called IAPE, we have a suggestion:
Next Wednesday, Oct. 2 at 2:00 p.m. EDT, join us for this Zoom presentation and learn more about your union. We’ll cover all the basic questions: what is a union? How did you end up in a union? And most importantly, what are the benefits of being in a union?
If you can stick around beyond the first half-hour, we’ll open the virtual floor for any questions you might have.
IAPE veterans, you’re welcome to join, too.
To register and receive your Zoom invitation, sign up through the IAPE Events page. While you’re there, feel free to enroll for the next installment of IAPE Contract 101, scheduled for Oct. 23.
Happening Tomorrow, TNG Strike School!
We’ve been talking about it for weeks, and it’s finally almost here: The NewsGuild's third annual Strike School takes place tomorrow!!
In recent years, more and more Guild members, including IAPE members, have engaged in collective actions up to and including work stoppages. TNG is building a culture of being a striking union. Because of that, The Guild is excited to announce that Saturday, Sept. 28, they will be hosting a NewsGuild-CWA union-wide Strike School.
In these panels and workshops, we’ll hear from fellow workers who have been on strike and learn practical skills necessary to prepare our unit. Even though our new contract with Dow Jones remains in effect through June of 2027, it’s never too early to learn what a strike is all about. IAPE members are encouraged to join!
This class is scheduled to run from 12:00 p.m. until 4:30 p.m. EDT on Saturday, Sept. 28 via Zoom.
The deadline to register for this event is tonight at 8:00 p.m. EDT. Register directly with TNG at https://forms.gle/6yifL4QJnBaseTYJ6.
