Dow Jones, News Corp., IAPE
After three months of drama, News Corp has prevailed in its $5 billion bid for Dow Jones & Company.
For the record, IAPE's focus is unchanged: This union exists solely to protect your interests. Everything we've done over the past two years has been designed to win you the contract that you deserve.
That effort continues.
The employees of Dow Jones are the most important asset of this company— and that's true regardless of who owns Dow Jones & Company. IAPE will continue to do everything it can to ensure that the employees of Dow Jones are recognized and rewarded for their contributions— the very contributions which make Dow Jones & Company worth $5 billion.
