Your Voice, Our Capital

/

We are in the home stretch of negotiations for a new contract with Dow Jones. We are nearing the end of our 60-day extension and our aim is to close a deal that reflects the value of the company’s best asset: our members. 

Now is the time to show your capital by raising your voice in support of higher wages.  

Here are the three things we need you to do next week:

  1. Stand by for social media for Monday 10/28: 

    • Keep your eyes on our twitter to like/retweet.

    • We’ll be sending around some graphics and suggested language for folks to create their own tweets on Monday.

  2. Change your profile picture on your DJ slack, gmail, and twitter:

    • Right click on the image here to “save image as”. Save somewhere you will remember. Then go to your settings in each of the platforms to change your profile picture and upload.

  3. Have your shirt ready for what could be our last T-shirt Tuesday: 

    • Princeton/SBK - We will be gathering for a photo and to rally the bargaining team at 9:45 a.m. at the elevators by the Blg 1 walk-thru.

    • NYC/1211 - We will be gathering for a photo at 1:30 p.m. outside in front of 1211. (The 4th floor won’t fit all of us this time. If you were in the photo this week, still plan to come to show our numbers growing!)

    • We are still gathering small group and individual photos from all offices to circulate on social media. So please organize on your own and send it to stefanie.frey@iape1096.org to be added to our social media channels. You can also post it on your own and tag @IAPE1096 on twitter, instagram, or facebook. 

    • We understand not everyone can wear their IAPE shirt for the whole work day. Please pull it over the back of your chair to show your support for the remainder of the day.
