TNG Presents: Was That the Reckoning? Addressing Anti-Black Racism in the News Industry
Tomorrow, June 15 at 8:00 p.m. EDT, union members from around IAPE’s parent union, The NewsGuild-CWA will gather for “Was that the Reckoning?: Addressing anti-Black Racism in the News Industry.” This assembly will examine past and present anti-Black racism in the news media, and take a hard look at The Guild’s role in building an anti-racist future.

IAPE members are invited and encouraged to participate. Register here: Was that the Reckoning? Addressing anti-Black racism in the news industry.

Attendees will hear from Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Nikole Hannah-Jones and NewsGuild leaders, including NewsGuild of New York president Susan DeCarava, Desiree Stennett of the Orlando Sentinel, and Erin Logan of the Los Angeles Times.

A panel addressing the role of The Guild in fighting anti-Blackness will be followed by breakout groups in which members set a path forward in further detail with measurable next steps to organize against anti-Black racism.

What has worked for members? More importantly, what structures and resources have fallen short or been missing? As unionized media workers, we have the opportunity to hold employers, ourselves and each other accountable.

IAPE Pay Reviews: Planning on Meeting With Your Manager?
Have you been 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.

As we are in the height of performance review season, IAPE is receiving an influx of pay review requests. If you are interested in receiving an analysis of your salary and have a meeting scheduled with your manager to discuss your compensation, please make sure to reach out as far in advance as possible as there is a queue for requests.

Request a union review by emailing payreview@iape1096.org.
