Everyone who is self-employed. What are you guys doing for health insurance? This is still my biggest concern for leaving a W2 role.
Watch @RLEspinal of @freelancersu explain why NYC needs to be a #CityofYes for Economic Opportunity!
Self-employed, freelancers and others who pay for their own health insurance should stop paying premiums to bottom-line based biz dealers of the health industry and embrace an HSA via @Fidelity and health care options available through @freelancersu or small biz incubators.
WGA members at Sesame Workshop are prepared to strike. 🪧 The unit voted UNANIMOUSLY - with 100% participation - to authorize a strike if management does not reach a fair new contract before their current agreement expires this Friday, April 19.
Stuff like this serious inhibits local journalism, and that impacts us all. I have students who want to be journalists, and I try and help them, but a law like this would prevent them getting shafted. This would go a long way to making journalism look like a job and not a hobby.
This would be a huge benefit to freelance journalists. I’ve never worked with an outlet in San Diego that paid me on time, one paid late& one didn’t pay at all. I don’t write for local outlets much now, because I don’t want to donate my work to some publisher in Scripps ranch.
Sen @Scott_Wiener has introduced a bill to expand Freelance Isn't Free to California State - It includes the right to a contract, prompt payment, & double damages for nonpayment. We need your help to pass these protections! Learn how to voice your support: blog.freelancersunion.org/2024/04/09/hel…
A privilege to return to @NYCCouncil to lay out our #CityofYes for Economic Opportunity proposal. Too many NYC zoning rules are stuck in the 1960s, stifling innovation & keeping storefronts vacant. People live & work differently today & our 20th C. rules need a 21st C. upgrade.
Advocates from across NYC and @NYCMayor are rallying for #CityofYes for Economic Opportunity on the steps of City Hall. New Yorkers are tired of empty storefronts - let's modernize outdated zoning so it's easier for small businesses to fill them up!
NYC zoning says you can DJ at a bar, but people can't dance to your music. You can bake bread at a store, but don't make any salsa. Think that's crazy? So do we! Let's update zoning so it supports local businesses instead of hurting them: nyc.gov/YesEconomicOpp… #CityofYes
If you're self-employed 🛠️ and earn more than your state's full-time minimum salary, you likely qualify for Opolis premium benefits 🌟. While we can't change the rules (yet 😉), we're here to ease the path to compliance. #FreelancerBenefits
Under New York's emaciated paid medical leave program, workers "are forced to forgo much-needed medical treatment and recovery because it is simply impossible to pay rent, bills and groceries." Unacceptable! @timesunion timesunion.com/opinion/articl…

@sitweetstoo Eeek so writing for rolling stone, gathers no money. This is fucked. There should be those freelancer laws like NY @freelancersu made happen: you must be paid within a certain period or fines.
@CaitlinKellyNYC NY state passed the Freelance Isn't Free Act, has it made any difference so far? Name and shame works, I should add. But does this law have sharper teeth? I see it as a kind of test case for freelancers at large, thx to @freelancersu
Freelance & self-employed workers deserve the same paid leave benefits as everyone else, but they are currently being left behind in New York. We have the opportunity to change that in the FY25 budget. @AndreaSCousins @CarlHeastie @GovKathyHochul
