| Abstract: |
The Independent Association of Publishers' Employees (IAPE) represents all categories
of employees of Dow Jones and Company and the Wall Street Journal. The IAPE was founded in 1946 as the Dow Jones Employees Association of New York,
and was renamed the Independent Association of Publishers' Employees in 1954. The
IAPE maintained its independence through two failed attempts at affiliation with larger
international unions, the Graphic Communications International Union in 1987, and
the Communications Workers of America (CWA) in 1990. The membership finally approved
affiliation to the CWA's Printing, Publishing and Media Workers Sector (PPMWS) in
1996, and the Association was chartered as Local 1096 of the CWA. The collection contains
minutes, correspondence, bargaining files, administrative files, publicity material,
background files on issues of concern to the union, photographs, and buttons.
