Guardian freelances - have your say on terms
The existing Guardian freelance charter
THE FREELANCE advises all who do freelance work for the Guardian to get in touch now with the NUJ Chapel to make sure your voice is heard in a “fundamental review” of the terms and conditions that the paper offers you.
The review applies to:
- casuals - mostly involved in production and audio visual;
- contracted freelances - mostly writers, photographers and content creators; and
- contributors - freelances whose material has recently appeared on the platform, but are not under contract.
There will be meetings between now and 16 June at Guardian HQ, King's Place, which those who have passes can attend in person - others will take part remotely.
The first meeting is on Friday 12 June from 13:00 to 14:30.
For times and joining details of the meeting, or to register for further briefings, please email freelances@gonuj.org or casuals@gonuj.org.
The NUJ sought clarification on what changes might be proposed, but was told by the Guardian that these were not yet formulated, and would be based on information gathered during the survey process.
Tim Dawson, NUJ freelance organiser, said: “The Guardian’s open and consultative approach in this is welcome. New employment rights, and an increasing policy interest in the rights of ‘gig economy’ workers have the capacity to end some of the most egregious practices that blight freelance lives. The NUJ will be pressing for the Guardian to lead the way in making this shift a reality for the many talented journalists who contribute to the success of their platforms.”
