Subject: Tech Writers Wanted, SF Bay Area. Writers Union Job Listings
Organization: Whole Earth 'Lectronic Link
Date: Sun, 4 Oct 1992 06:01:36 GMT


The technical writers job bank of the National Writers Union 
lists many contract and staff writing jobs that go begging 
because we have no one to fill them. We are currently listing 6 
contract and 24 staff jobs. 

To hear a free description of these jobs, call (415) 979-5522.

The job bank is a non-profit cooperative effort organized by working 
technical writers who are members of the National Writers Union. 
Employers list their job openings on the hotline for free. When 
union members are interested in a job, our coordinator gives them 
the employer's name and phone number. Then the member negotiates 
directly with the employer. The union does not act as a middle 
man or broker. The union plays no role in the contract or terms 
agreed to between the writer and the employer. When members get a 
job through a hotline lead, they pay a finders fee of 12% of the 
first four months income. (Compare that to brokers who usually 
take a third of what the employer pays for the life of the 
contract.) 

You must be an NWU member to obtain the contact information about 
a job listed on the hotline. We are the trade union that covers 
all working writers (journalists, book authors, poets, technical 
and practical writers, etc.) except for those represented by the 
Newspaper, Screenwriters, or Dramatists Guilds. In addition to 
the job bank, the union provides many other services including 
union health plan, career networking, publishers and agents 
databases, and grievance handling (we've recovered almost 
$700,000 owed to writers). We are a national union with locals in 
12 cities across the country. We have been in existence for 10 
years and we are an affiliate of the UAW/AFL/CIO. Union dues are 
on a sliding scale based on your writing income, from a low of 
$35 for 6 months to a high of $150 per year. 

For membership information, or to speak with Kenya Briggs, the 
hotline coordinator, call (415) 474-5007.

You don't happen to know if Owen is supporting HR5011, a bill which
limits employer liability for misclassification of independents, or
whther he is introducing his own initiative? It is nice to see that
*someone* in Congress is speaking out against the inequities of 1706.
It would be even better if additional voices in Congress were heard
and identified, so that myself and others in New England would know
where to cast our support. My local Rep. and Senator don't seem to be
all that interested...

I recently signed a contract to provide a program (allowing doctors to 
send --- via modem --- Medicare/Blue Cross claims) for a local firm
for a cetain amount of money and time, but I'm a week behind and the 
job is much more extensive than I realized when we discussed it initially.

For example, the original specifications described 12 output record formats
but after reading these carefully I realized that soon these would be
obsolete and called Medicare to see if there was a new output format and
indeed there was. So now there are 27 output record formats and further the
software (called MED#1) which outputs .dbf file formats is not very well
documented. In short, I am afraid that I am going to run into a legal
problem here and my original tendency is to shut down totally and go to
sleep. 

Please help me.
