About a month later, on November 19, 1981, the National Writers Union was formed. Happy birthday, NWU! 🎈
1981 - The "Why a Union?" workshop at the Nation Institute's Writers' Congress draws an overflow crowd. The plenary of 3,000 writers endorses the proposal to create a union for writers in all genres to actively press for better pay and treatment and to vigorously oppose Reagan-era threats to free expression. "We need no more heroic individual writers," said keynote speaker Toni Morrison. She called for "an accessible organization that is truly representative of the diverse interests of all writers."

Even when a company is based in a state with strong labor laws, those protections often don’t extend to remote #freelancers. This loophole lets companies dodge accountability entirely. We’re fighting to close it through legislation. Donate to the legal fund today: www.zeffy.com/en-US/donati...
