Insurance for Freelancers
Freelancers Union, a New York based non-profit, has announced its launch of an insurance and retirement program to be available to independent workers around the country. According to Freelancers, that comprises 30% of the workforce.
The program has been in operation for ten years, serving the City’s independent workforce by providing them access to health, dental, life, and disability insurance as well as professional discounts and educational and advocacy initiatives. Nonetheless, according to a recent survey of New York’s independent workers 66% either went without health insurance or had only temporary coverage during the course of a year.
In addition, Freelancers Union is creating a new on-line community by offering Profiles, Freelancers Yellow Pages, & Gig postings, a marketing and business development initiative that will allow freelancers to advertise their services and help them find work.
