Live From New York: IAPE 101

IAPE 101, the union’s orientation class for newcomers and Q&A session for veteran members, makes its in-person return to 1211 AOA on Wednesday afternoon. If you are working in the office tomorrow, please join IAPE representatives at 2:15 p.m. in The Future Room on the 7th Floor (F07.AR12).

Members working from home or in other locations may join our remote feed. Please register to receive your meeting link at the IAPE Events page.

IAPE 101 is a half-hour class addressing the basics of IAPE membership: What is a union? How does IAPE function? How does IAPE fit into Dow Jones? What are the benefits of union membership? We’ll even have some time for Q&A, especially for those of you who have questions about upcoming contract negotiations.

IAPE Contract Survey
If you haven’t had a chance to respond to the IAPE “30 Issues” survey, you still have some time to tell IAPE reps which negotiation topics are most important to you. Click the link in your email to select your top five, or add an issue of your own.

One More Push for Pittsburgh
IAPE members also have one final chance to sign a letter in support of our NewsGuild siblings on strike at the Pittsburgh Post Gazette. The letter urges those who have been crossing picket lines to support their colleagues and join the strike. Read more about the Pittsburgh strike—starting its fifth month tomorrow—at newsguild.org, and please join the hundreds of others from across the Guild supporting members in Pittsburgh. Sign before 6:00 p.m. EST today!
