| Introduction | The National Writers Union UAW Local 1981 is the only labor union that represents free-lance writers. Combining the strength of about 1,500 members with the support of the United Automobile Workers, the NWU works to advance the economic and working conditions of all writers. Members also benefit from the many services the Union offers -- including grievance assistance, contract advice, and much more -- while contributing to a growing movement of free-lancers who have banded together to assert their collective power. This new blog will be a forum for residents of Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin who belong to the union or are prospective members. We should use this forum to help each other succeed as writers and fight for our rights. If you are interested in joining the union or learning more about it, pleases e-mail NWU-Chicago@juno.com. The local leadership includes: * Chairperson: Martin Zabell * Treasurer: Bill Bianchi * VP: Regina Baiocchi * VP: Tom Gradel * VP: Liane Casten * Chair emeritus: Karen Ford (now national VP) * Chair emeritus: Larry Goldbetter (now national prez) |
