FAQ

How are dues assessed?

IAPE union dues are assessed at a rate of 0.7% of bi-weekly regular pay (and commissions, for those who receive income from incentive pay plans). IAPE’s dues rate was confirmed by member referendum in 2020. Most members choose to have dues deducted automatically from their paychecks, for convenience. To do so, you must indicate your dues deduction preference on your IAPE membership application form and fill out a separate form that authorizes Dow Jones payroll to make those deductions.

How is IAPE leadership determined?

IAPE leadership is determined by elections held every three years, when members choose officers and other representative board members, or periodically as board vacancies occur. All members in good standing are eligible to run for IAPE officer positions, as well as Location- and Classification-based positions depending on your employment region or job title.

How can I get involved?

Volunteers are the lifeblood of IAPE. In addition to elected officials we’re constantly looking for members to pitch in on projects that run a wide range of topics, from benefits and organizing to bargaining and union finances. See our Events page and register for opportunities to become an IAPE steward!
