NY-Area Members: Join Us!

Attention IAPE members who live or work in the tri-state area! We have two exciting activities for you to participate in this week—read on for more information!

First, and definitely the event we have been looking forward to the longest, is Friday’s counting of the ballots for WSJ Photo Editors voting to be included in the IAPE bargaining unit! All ballots will be commingled and counted at the National Labor Relations Board Region 02 Office at 10:00 a.m. on Friday, Sept. 8.

All are welcome to attend and support your soon-to-be fellow members! Attendees will gather shortly before 10:00 a.m. outside the office for group photos to memorialize this long-awaited day. IAPE (or red) t-shirts are mandatory, and masks are strongly encouraged.

Because NLRB staff require advance notice of any anticipated audience, so they can assign an appropriately-sized meeting room, please let us know if you are planning to attend.

The Region 02 office address is 26 Federal Plaza, Suite 36-130, New York, NY 10278. For commuters, the nearest train stops are Chambers Street A, C, J, City Hall N, R, W, or Brooklyn Bridge - City Hall 4, 5, 6.

March in Saturday’s Labor Day Parade
Our second exciting option is an invitation to join IAPE staff and members in Saturday’s New York City Labor Day Parade! We’ll meet up with our union siblings from the NewsGuild of New York and show our support for the IAPE bargaining committee, and the labor movement as a whole.

Our meeting spot and time on Saturday morning: 45th Street and 6th Avenue between 10:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. (and we expect it will be closer to 11:00 before we join the parade crowd).

Again, IAPE tees (or your favorite red or black top) are fashion musts. All are welcome—bring the whole family!

See you Saturday morning!
