Monday: Support for DC, Wear Your Tee

On Monday, IAPE-represented employees in Washington will be greeting new Bureau Chief—and former IAPE member—Damian Paletta with a show of union solidarity.

Bureau staff will be donning their red IAPE t-shirts, wearing IAPE buttons and displaying IAPE signs. Members will be showing management they will not sit quietly in the face of Thursday’s announced elimination of 30 News positions from the bureau.

We’re calling on IAPE members in all locations to do the same. No matter where you’re working on Monday, show your support for your colleagues callously dismissed in the name of “bringing the right skills into the newsroom” (as if those skills weren’t there already), as well as for your union bargaining team which will continue to fight to protect the layoff severance benefits management wants to control.

Monday, Feb. 5. Wear your IAPE t-shirt, wear an IAPE button, download and display an IAPE sign and change your avatar.
