Job Cuts. Again
Dow Jones is at it, again.
On the heels of the company's mid-May lay-offs of 32 IAPE members (14 in South Brunswick, 8 in DC, 4 in New York, 2 each in San Francisco and Jersey City (Harborside) and 1 each in Chicago and Irving, Texas,) and its decision to outsource the mailroom operations in South Brunswick, New York (AOA & WFC) and Jersey City (Harborside), the company has delivered lay-off notices to 5 more of your co-workers (2 desktop system analysts at Harborside and 2 customer service specialists and 1 desktop systems engineer at WFC.)
All of the changes have been posted on the Layoff Update on the website.
It's tragic to see the company discard hard-working, dedicated employees as the very nature of this company continues to shift.
As always, we'll review the circumstances of each of these job cuts and do whatever is needed to ensure that IAPE-represented employees are getting everything provided by the contract.
