2022 Contract: Vote by Friday

If you have not yet voted on the 2022 tentative contract agreement, check your inbox for a new 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.

Details of the agreement have been emailed to members, posted on the union website and presented during a series of IAPE town hall meetings. If approved, terms of the new deal take effect immediately with raises paid retroactive to July 1, 2022. 

Eligible IAPE-represented employees—those hired prior to May 1, 2022—will receive pay hikes of no less than 4%, with introductory pay scale adjustments resulting in immediate increases in excess of 8% for some. Employees will also receive lump-sum payments equal to 1% of annual salary, based on pay rates as of June 30, 2022, with minimum payments of $1,000 USD per person for full-time staff. Wages will again increase by 0.5% effective Jan. 1, 2023.

The tentative contract includes an extension of the company’s 2022 health insurance plans and a freeze of health insurance premium rates and other out-of-pocket costs for all members of the bargaining unit for 2023.

Other contract changes tentatively agreed to include an agreement to make contract language gender neutral and the inclusion of Juneteenth and Truth and Reconciliation Day holidays for employees in the United States and Canada, respectively. The physical fitness reimbursement program will increase to $700 per year, up from $600, starting in 2023.
