Have you ever been stiffed, paid very late, or the payment terms of your agreement just weren't honored by a client? The Freelancer Payment Protection Act is a groundbreaking bill that would protect you from deadbeat clients, just like W-2 employees already are. Join other freelancers pushing to get this legislation passed before the Senate session ends in June.

Freelancers Union members have already met with 16 legislators around New York City, and have bi-partisan sponsorship and support for the bill. Join other freelancers pushing to get this legislation passed before the Senate session ends in June.

We have many meetings set up with legislators on May 17th to talk about this issue and will be going around the State Capitol in teams to swarm their offices and ask for support.
