Almar’s Candy Grams Delivered!

Today a group of IAPE members in the NY office delivered 296 candy gram messages we’ve collected for Dow Jones CEO, Almar Latour, over the past two weeks. Check out our posts on X (Formerly known as Twitter), Instagram and Facebook and make sure to share them!

When they approached Almar’s office, our members were met by Tom Maher, a familiar face from the bargaining table and part of the Dow Jones Legal team. Tom told our members that they couldn’t be there and asked them to leave. Our members stood strong and told him that they just wanted to make sure Almar got this gift from IAPE members. Our efforts definitely struck a nerve! 

Our campaign received messages from IAPE members, family members, friends, union siblings at the CWA and TNG, and even a self-proclaimed WSJ subscriber. Great work folks! 

This was an excellent action to build up our public support and send a message directly to Almar. As we continue to stand our ground on key issues like wages and healthcare premiums, we’re looking forward to escalating collective actions in the offices and public spaces going into the new year. 

Join the Contract Action Team and help create and coordinate these future actions. In Solidarity!
