IAPE Bulletin: 4/29/2020

Members,

We are moving away from the weekly meetings with the company and have told Dow Jones representatives that we will bring member concerns related to the Coronavirus crisis at our regular monthly labor management meetings. 

We plan to keep childcare issues, the technology allowance, problems with comp time and overtime and our request to allow members to be reimbursed for exercise equipment on the agenda. The union will also keep pressing for insight into the company’s plans for restarting the offices to make sure all your concerns about safety are addressed.  

Please reach out to the union or your representative if you are having problems with the new work-life leave benefit, equipment reimbursement or about anything else that is affecting your work life. 

We also ask that you fill out the latest “How Are You” survey sent by HR yesterday and to answer candidly about your needs, and to reiterate the requests we’ve made on your behalf in the comments section. 

It has been great to hear from so many members during what we know is a difficult time and we will plan for another general member meeting soon. 

We encourage those interested in learning more about the union to sign up for our IAPE 101 session scheduled for May 20 to learn the basics about your union and how you can get more involved.
