NETWORK PETITION FOR ECONOMIC RELIEF

Written and spearheaded by the Writers Guild of America, East- this petition has been served this May 2020 to the television networks and streamers across the United States demanding economic relief for all non-fiction, non-union freelancers. If you're interested in receiving relief funds (no matter what coast you live or work in, no matter what non-fiction role you do), it is still available for signatures.

The anonymous benefits survey is for understanding "incentives" non-fiction workers receive, i.e. box rentals, reimbursements, health, et al. We want to know how our freelancers are being treated in the workplace, beyond pay rates. |

BIPOC QUESTIONNAIRE
|
|
We are in a pivotal moment of reckoning in the world, and the NFU wants to encourage accountability and change within our industry so that all non-fiction workers’ standards are raised equally. The NFU, in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement, believes that fighting for racial equality is an essential part of ensuring the rights of workers in our industry. We proudly stand with advocacy groups that are now and have long been in the fight for social, racial, and economic justice.
The goal for this initiative will be to facilitate discussions of issues like equal pay, racial discrimination, equal rate of growth within the industry, and COVID-19 protocols. The NFU is made stronger by our diversity. At this time, we are looking for members of the NFU community to join this conversation, as well as members willing to potentially lead this initiative. Please take our ANONYMOUS SURVEY. |
