Subject: Technical Writers (Contract/Staff) SF Bay Area. {Writers Union}
Organization: Whole Earth 'Lectronic Link
Date: Sat, 5 Sep 1992 20:09:38 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 9 
contract and 20 staff jobs. 

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

The job bank is a 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 8% of the 
first three months income. (Compare that to brokers who usually 
take a third of what the employer pays for the life of the 
contract.) [Note: We will soon be voting on whether or not to
raise this fee, and if so, by how much.]

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.

If you want to live with inferior care supported with your taxes, move to
Canada.  The last thing I need is no alternative to `California Care'.
Canadian care is not inferior, I hear you say?  Bullshit.  I'll give you a
very typical example: my sister (who lives in Montreal) developed a
neurological condition.  Diagnosis required an MRI.  There is *1* MRI machine
in Montreal and it was booked for the next 6 months.  She ended up having to
go to New York, at her expense, for the test.  After this, and many other,
problems with the Canadian health care system my sister and her family have
opted out of the government system and bought private health insurance.  Not
that they still don't have to pay taxes that you would find appauling.

One more thing.  In a country that has no problem with slashing Medicare
spending what do think will happen when they are footing the bill for the
whole thing?

Gee, there must be *tons* of unemployed C++ programmers out there with
10 years of non-academic experience, given one of their recent posts.
Even more galling is the fact that, if they are after only local

Given the frequency of their posts and the automatic response when e-mailed,
restricting their posting to ne.jobs is not to much to ask.

A grand statement from someone who bullshits so much himself. I've lived
for more than 10 years in Canada. During my stay, due to a soccer injury
while in university, I needed a major knee reconstruction surgery to repair
the ligaments. I got it right after my injury and for free. An American
friend having the same problem at the University of Washington got the
same treatment and was billed for $22,000! Yes, $22,000 which he is still
paying for through his bank loan.
My father needed an open hear surgery 3 years ago. He got it one month after
the surgeons recomended it at no cost. Do you know how much that would have
cost in the U.S.? Take $50,000 as a moderate guess, a nice 60th birthday
present it would have been.
The so called superior American medical system IS NOT for everyone, only
the privileged few who can pay for it end up using it. Your sister should
have compared herself to many Americans who have to sell their house to
find out what the meaning of getting medicare is all about.
