If you’re thinking about becoming a member of the Canadian Freelance Union, there are a number of benefits. But, the key ones for me have been the cases they won.
Rusti L Lehay Freelance Editor/Writing Coach
Not only did they help with the matter of getting my payment, they also helped with the bigger conversation that was happening which was the matter of respect between client and freelancer.
Pacinthe Mattar Toronto-Based Journalist, Writer, and Producer
I am very grateful for the work that the Canadian Freelancers Union does for me and for freelancers like all of you and I cannot recommend joining them enough.
Lindsay Zier-Vogel Novelist, Grant Writer, Educator, Love Letterer
Their help was thorough, it was complex. They helped with many issues at once and it was just nice to know that I wasn’t doing this alone.
