Freelancer’s Union - collective benefits for freelancers of all types
Feel like you’re the only one out there? Want to team up with all the other freelancers out there for some real benefits and networking? Freelancer’s Union is the absolute perfect solution. Formed in 1995, the Freelancer’s Union has brought together thousands of freelancers from all industries and professions so members can enjoy benefits like regular employees. Health insurance is probably the key here - this is your chance to get reduced group rates on health insurance even though you are self-employed and working from home.
The use of freelancers and contract employees has risen steadily in the past decade. Companies are discovering that they can get work done by professionals without having to offer all the benefits that go along with full-time employment. As a results, the companies are enjoying more profits, and the actual worker bees are stuck on their own. Freelancer’s Union is a way for all freelancers - from writers and designers to musicians and small business owners - to use the power of numbers for discounts.
Freelancer’s Union is constantly expanding and growing its list of benefits. Right now in addition to group rates for health insurance, they have negotiated with partners to provide discounts on things like rental cars, Barnes and Noble purchases, phone contracts, gym memberships, office supplies, and professional printing. Plus you’ll be part of group advocating for your rights as a freelancer, working together to provide a wider network of gigs and opportunities, and a way to connect with other individuals in your position.
So take a few minutes to poke around the Freelancer’s Union website and see just what they have in store for you. It takes just one minute to join (and it’s free), and you’ll reap the benefits quickly.
