Freelance Isn’t Free is now law in LA.
Onward in California!
https://nwu.org/freelance-isnt-free-comes-to-los-angeles/The FIF push began in NYC, made law in 2016. And passed by both houses legislature last year, FIF would be New York state law now had Hochul not vetoed the bill at Christmas. Andrew Gounardes has reintroduced the NY bill.
An FIF initiative is now under way in Illinois.
Self-employment is a widening norm across the U.S. We need these protections.
Join this fight!

Governor Hochul hit us with a veto surprise for Christmas (literally), but don’t count Freelance Isn’t Free out in New York.
The bill, introduced a year ago and passed in both houses — the first time — by June (https://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/industry-news/publisher-news/article/89505-freelance-isn-t-free-act-passes-in-new-york-state.html), is back — reintroduced by Andrew Gounardes this week.
The fight continues. We’re in it to win. Watch.
