Here is some information that may be of interest to those of you that are
working as independents.

National Attention for Independent Workers and Freelancers Union!

This month, the PBS newsmagazine NOW devoted a whole episode to independent
workers and Freelancers Union.  Now it's available online, and we hope
you'll take the time to watch it.
 
The program features an interview with Freelancers Union Executive Director
Sara Horowitz and includes a roundtable discussion between Freelancers Union
members and the New York State Department of Labor Commissioner Patricia
Smith.
 
Here's where to watch the show:
