We’re a group of freelance journalists, bloggers, and other writers in
news media from all around the world, organizing to improve our working
conditions and assert our rights.
In the tumultuous, insecure world of contemporary news media, more and
more of us are forced to work on a freelance basis. While it’s difficult
to put a precise estimate on the numbers, self-employed writers make up the majority of the profession in the United States and there are legions of us around the world.
Publicizing this union comes after a months-long organizing effort in
which we’ve had one-on-one conversations with hundreds of freelance
journalists and group meetings with dozens, discussing the struggles
that members of our profession face and how we can collectively overcome
them.
Many of us deal with long overdue payments, low rates, vast pay
disparities, exploitative contracts and frustrating invoicing systems at
publications throughout the industry. While nearly every news outlet
relies on freelance labor, few are committed to treating workers with
dignity and providing fair compensation.
In order to change these conditions, and to gain power through
solidarity, we created the Freelance Journalists Union. The FJU is part
of the Industrial Workers of the World, an international, member-run union for all workers, which was established in 1905.
This blog is mostly so I can vent my feelings and share my interests. Other than that, I am nothing special.
If you don't like Left Wing political thought and philosophy, all things related to horror, the supernatural, the grotesque, guns or the strange, then get the fuck out. I just warned you.
