Last Chance to Talk About the Contract

The IAPE town hall series wraps up this morning with the last of seven membership meetings to discuss the tentative agreement between IAPE and Dow Jones. If you haven’t had an opportunity to attend a contract session yet, there’s still time to register for today’s town hall—but hurry! We’ll begin this morning’s presentation at 10:30 a.m. EDT. Register at the IAPE Events Page to attend.

A Reminder: VOTE!
If you have not yet voted on the 2022 tentative contract agreement, keep an eye on your inbox for a reminder to vote from our election provider, TrueBallot Inc. Eligible members must submit their online votes by Friday, Sept. 9 at 12:00 p.m. EDT. If you are an eligible voter and you have not received a contract ballot, or if you have any difficulty with the voting website, please contact elections@iape1096.org for assistance.

It’s Time for a Loooooong Weekend!
IAPE officers, directors and staff send very best wishes to you for a safe and happy Labor (or Labour) Day weekend. The Union office will be closed on Monday for the holiday—our favorite one of the year!—but will reopen as usual on Tuesday, Sept. 6.

Remember: if you’re scheduled to work on Monday, Article VIII of the IAPE/DJ contract requires that you receive Holiday Pay: time-and-one-half for regular hours worked, double-time for hours in excess of your regular schedule. Don’t forget to file! And remember: in addition to Holiday Pay, YOU have the option to request either an additional day’s pay OR a comp day for working on a contract holiday.

Happy Labor (Labour) Day!
