.@WSJ insists we're managers and ineligible for union representation @IAPE1096. But our photo editors doing the work every day say otherwise.

WSJ’s high-priced lawyers can delay all they want. We’ll keep coming back again, and again, and again . . . 🎃👻🪦💀 #notrick #justtreats #iapehalloween #photoeditors

[IAPE TNG/CWA 1096 @IAPE1096]

Are we haunted by this? Nothing scares our Photo Editors. We can wait a little longer for WSJ Photo Editors to be non-union . . . nevermore! #quoththeraven

[IAPE TNG/CWA 1096 @IAPE1096]

Thanks to more ghoulish delay tactics from the employer, our hearing has been pushed back to 11/15. And it drives us a little batty to hear WSJ lawyers continue to claim Photo Editors are managers.

[IAPE TNG/CWA 1096 @IAPE1096]

When we filed to represent WSJ Photo Editors 49 days ago, little did we know the Great Pumpkin would arrive before the NLRB would grant an election for @Unionize_Photo staff.

Getting ready for trick or treating this weekend? Gather ’round for an IAPE Halloween tale. It probably won’t make your blood run cold, but it might cause it to boil just a little . . . 🧵

We asked, "What opportunities for growth do you see at WSJ?" One editor revealed:
"Despite promises from Management, the only way I've been able to expand my skills is to do it on my own time –– or take on projects that require significant unpaid overtime."

[Photo Editors of WSJ @Unionize_Photo]

We asked the WSJ Photo Editors to describe their process for getting photo edits or illustrations approved. Here's some insight: "My photo choices are more suggestions that are chosen by art directors and approved by a section editor."

We asked the WSJ Photo Editors: What benefits do you want to receive by joining the union? The results, well, they speak for themselves. 🧵 [1/5]

So you know how photo editors don’t just pick photos for stories but actually handle a really wide range of responsibilities? (thread)

I can't overstate how serious the storm surge threat is in southwest Florida. #Ian will drive deadly surge into Cape Coral and Fort Myers, placing much of the area under water. If you live near the ocean in a surge zone, this is your last chance to leave...

.@IAPE1096 have had our backs through MONTHS of negotiating, but @WSJ management continues to push back.

WSJ Photo Editors do similar work to our colleagues in the union, and we think we deserve to join them!

[IAPE TNG/CWA 1096 @IAPE1096]

Photo Editors are union employees at outlets with @newsguild representation across the U.S. and Canada. There's no reason for @WSJ mgmt to continue to insist these staffers must be excluded from the @IAPE1096 bargaining unit.

[Photo Editors of WSJ @Unionize_Photo]

89% of The WSJ’s photo editors have signed cards to petition for our inclusion in @iape1096, our company’s union, but we are still being blocked from joining.

[Photo Editors of WSJ @Unionize_Photo]

Did you know that photo editors at The WSJ are being denied membership to our own company’s union?
