IAPE Contract Town Hall
Join union officers, directors, stewards and staff for a town hall meeting to talk about our new contract! It has been over one month since IAPE and Dow Jones reached agreement on a four-year deal, and three weeks since members voted overwhelmingly to approve a new collective bargaining agreement.
So, let's get together to talk about new contract changes, and address any questions you might have. IAPE reps will also talk about exciting opportunities to get involved with your union and how to keep IAPE moving forward!
We have two remote meeting sessions to choose from: Tuesday, July 23 at 2:00 p.m. EDT and Thursday, July 25 at 4:30 p.m. EDT. Select your choice and register here: https://forms.gle/SCkXEEkgVL1cXQSy7
