Tag: Freelancer’s Union
Phoners

I’m a member of the Freelancer’s Union for the health insurance. Before the primary and now before the runoff I’ve gotten calls from some phone bank of theirs, urging me to vote for David Yassky for Comptroller and Bill de Blasio for Public Advocate.
Okay, whatever. But what was odd was the reason given both times: Yassky and de Blasio will fight for a new law to give unemployment benefits to freelancers.
It’s a small point, but Comptroller and Public Advocate are not legislative positions.
