Welcome to IAPE, your voice in the workplace at Dow Jones & Company and Schneps Media Group.

The Independent Association of Publishers' Employees (IAPE) is a union that has been run by member volunteers for nearly 90 years. Our elected officers and directors are your colleagues—full-time employees who volunteer their time to the Union. From our earliest days as an independent union representing New York news staff at The Wall Street Journal, IAPE has grown to become an international Local of The NewsGuild-CWA, representing staff at publications and products operated by Dow Jones & Company in the United States and Canada, as well as news staff at Schneps Media throughout the five boroughs of New York.

IAPE has more than 1,200 members in several locations across the continent. Our members hold a wide range of jobs—we represent reporters, software developers, computer technicians and programmers, sales professionals, customer service personnel and dozens of other titles. Together we help publish and distribute the print and digital versions of The Wall Street Journal, Barron's, and AM New York, and we work on products like Factiva and MarketWatch.

For our Dow Jones bargaining unit, the benefits guaranteed under contract, including health insurance, retirement benefits, vacation days, and severance pay, have been fought for over years through the collective bargaining process.

Since 1996, IAPE has been affiliated with the Communications Workers of America. IAPE is assigned to The NewsGuild sector of CWA and known as IAPE TNG-CWA Local 1096. The Guild and CWA provide IAPE with important resources to help us defend your rights.
