Contract Trivia: IAPE Geography

Congratulations to New York member Hailey Davis, today’s winner of our 2023 trivia contest and a $50 prize. Hailey’s entry was selected from several correct responses to last week’s question about Holiday Pay: the Company must increase Holiday Pay from 1.5X pay to 2X pay when an employee works in excess of their regularly scheduled hours on a contract-recognized holiday (see Article VIII-A or VIII-B, Section A.2).

Hailey is the sixth New York-based member to win a trivia prize during this year’s contest. We have also congratulated eight winners assigned to the Princeton location and one each from Washington and San Francisco. Article II of the agreement between IAPE and Dow Jones recognizes 18 cities in the United States and Canada as IAPE-represented locations, even though Dow Jones no longer maintains an actual office space in some of those cities (hello, Dallas!).

This week, we’re adding a geography component to the contract trivia contest:

Identify the northernmost union-represented location recognized by the IAPE/DJ collective agreement.

Think you have the answer? Email your response to union@iape1096.org. Not sure? Take a look at the cities listed in Article II and send us your best guess!. Members in good standing* will have until Thursday at midnight to find the answer within the current collective agreement between IAPE and Dow Jones, and email their contest entry back to us. Next Friday, one winner will be selected at random from all the correct responses, and that winning member will receive a $50 prize from IAPE.
