Welcome to the United Freelancers Guild

Mar 5, 2015 by jgordon@unitedmediaguild.org

The United Media Guild already has several freelancers as members. More have inquired about joining. So we are creating a freelance membership unit in two categories:

Journalists (reporters, editors, photographers, videographers, print and digital designers).
Communications specialists (public relations, social media management, advocacy messaging).

Membership for free-lancers is $12 per month. If you join you will become a card-carrying member of the United Media Guild, TNG-CWA Local 36047.

Membership will entitle you to a variety of Union Plus discounts and benefits. Explore that website to see all ways union members can save money.

Of special interest to freelancers is access to the CWA/NETT Academy, with a variety of on-line courses, and the expansive Lynda.com instructional video library.

Best of all, you will be joining the organized labor movement and help us support the craft of journalism on local, regional and national levels.

As we gain more members, we will organize workshops and seminars that will benefit freelancers as well as the members at our various media and social justice units.

Anybody interested in joining should contact UMG president Jeff Gordon at jgordon@unitedmediaguild.org.
