Contract Negotiations 2023 FAQ
What is collective bargaining?
Collective bargaining is the formal process through which employees negotiate wages, health care, safety, due process and other employment terms and conditions with their employer. At Dow Jones, the designated representative for union members is IAPE, which has negotiated collective bargaining agreements (CBA) for represented employees for more than 85 years.
When does bargaining begin?
Now. Our current contract expires June 30, 2023, but the terms of our agreement will continue automatically for 60 days after expiration. In past years, the union and company have agreed to extend the terms until a new contract was agreed upon.
How does bargaining work?
IAPE’s bargaining committee made up of mostly rank-and-file union members has been crafting proposals, advancements to the articles in our CBA and return to office items, based on member feedback and mindful of the current environment at Dow Jones and our industry. The company crafts its own proposals and is represented by staff from Legal, HR and Benefits departments.
How do we get what we want?
Your bargaining committee has put careful consideration into this year’s proposals and will need member support to be successful at the bargaining table. That may mean attending a meeting, sharing updates from the committee with your colleagues and joining in other activities to let the company know that the union’s demands have your backing.
How can I learn more and get involved?
We are recruiting members in all locations to serve as stewards and to help with mobilization as negotiations move forward. Contact the mobilization committee, your representative or the union office.
