Compensation Questions?
Are you thinking of approaching your boss to have a conversation about your pay? Ever wonder how your salary compares to peers in your department? The IAPE pay review might be a helpful tool for you. Using information available to the union, your IAPE reviewer may be able to provide you with a closer look at your rate of pay relative to fellow members in the same title, department, location, hire date range and even age range.

Request your own salary analysis by emailing payreview@iape1096.org.

Strike Prep At Condé Nast
In case you missed the news, our friends at The NewsGuild of New York have voted—with 98 percent support—to approve a strike at The New Yorker, Pitchfork and Ars Technica if negotiations with management of their publications and their parent company, Condé Nast, break down further. The vote came on March 26 after years of contentious negotiations for first contracts at each outlet.

Contract talks are centered on fair pay, a safe and inclusive work environment, and ending practices that exploit workers and undermine their work-life balance.

You can support the workers by signing a pledge to support them and by following them on Twitter. And you can stay in touch with our parent union—The NewsGuild-CWA—by subscribing to the TNG newsletter.
