Freelancers: Get Paid, Not Played

Trouble getting paid? You're not alone.

77% of freelancers have been stiffed by a deadbeat company. It's not your fault. The Department of Labor makes sure W–2 employees get paid, while freelancers have to sue for their check or just walk away.
We're 30% of the workforce; it's time to change the game.

Join the Freelancer's Union campaign to get freelancer workers paid on time and for the right amount. Go to
http://www.freelancersunion.org/advocacy/campaigns.html to join the campaign and help yourself and the art community. On the Freelancer's Union site are alot of information on different issues on taxes, unemployment, alerts on companies that don't pay, job postings, etc. They are a good group to get to know.
