Hi Chris,<div><br></div><div>I've seen billboards for the Freelancers Union in New York City, USA who do appear to focus on forming a union so that their members may bargain collectively for benefits.</div><div><a href="http://www.freelancersunion.org/">http://www.freelancersunion.org/</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>However, I think their coverage may not be contiguous withing the US:</div><div><a href="http://www.freelancersunion.org/insurance/explore/">http://www.freelancersunion.org/insurance/explore/</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>I would actually be curious if anyone on this list has kudos or caveats about the Freelancer's Union.</div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Jul 12, 2010 at 11:32 AM, Christopher Jones <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:cjones@partialflow.com">cjones@partialflow.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

contractors out there deal with this issue? I'm investigating options<br>
for insuring my family (two adults and two kids).<br>
<br>
In particular, I had wondered if there were a union, or some kind of<br>
cooperative I could join.<br>
