Sign up for Open Bargaining

Contract negotiations between IAPE and Dow Jones will continue tomorrow, Nov. 28. Bargaining is scheduled to begin at 10:00 a.m. EST, and members are again invited to attend via Google Meet.

To join the IAPE team as an open bargaining observer, please register through the link provided in your email.

Join our Bargaining Committee!
Since it seems unlikely negotiations will produce a final agreement anytime soon, we’re putting out a new invitation to any members who might be interested in joining the union Bargaining Committee. Are you an IAPE member who has been following our contract updates and would like to get involved in contract proposal planning? Are you interested in joining the in-person or virtual negotiation group? You’re just the person we need on our team!

For more information about joining the committee, send a note to union@iape1096.org.

File for Holiday Pay
In case you missed our note to members on Friday, members based in the U.S. who were required to work on Thanksgiving or the day after are entitled to Holiday Pay for all hours worked. Holiday Pay applies to ALL union-represented staff, whether you are considered overtime-exempt or not.

Yes, everybody. Even you.

File for your Holiday Pay through Workday. If you’re not familiar with the process (remember to enter your regular hours worked for other days during the workweek!), contact the IAPE office, or reach out to Payroll for assistance.

File for Fitness Reimbursement
Finally, please remember the deadline for IAPE-represented employees to submit physical fitness expenses for 2023 is Nov. 30. That’s this Thursday!

As a union-represented employee, you can be reimbursed for up to $700 of the employee-only costs of physical fitness activities and memberships ranging from health club memberships and personal trainers to entry fees for road races and tennis court fees.  Worth noting, home gym equipment is not eligible for reimbursement.

Expenses must be submitted to WageWorks by Nov. 30 in order to be reimbursed by the end of the calendar year. Any expenses submitted after Nov. 30 will count toward the maximum benefit payable for 2024.

You may file for reimbursement by logging into www.wageworks.com and submitting your request or by completing a reimbursement request form, available on the HR Hub.
