Information status: Draft

Guardian Media Group

With the agreement on rates in September 2001, the NUJ's concord with GMG over freelances' rights is formalised. We're now working with the Group on ways of increasing "spot sales" - from which freelances receive income - and phasing out the old blanket lifting deals.

This page is a Draft: please let us know whether it's ready to be marked as "Current" or send corrections and additions.
