Freelancers Union is a national membership organization of independent workers, including temporary, part-time, freelance, and self-employed workers. We have over 130,000 members.

We're a new kind of union. We don't charge dues, since our social purpose businesses keep the doors open. Instead of collective bargaining, but we use the power of the group to build market power and political power. Together, we're creating a new social safety net that actually works for our members.

We exist because we believe that independent workers can help each other.

Our channel features videos advocating for freelancers, education about freelancers, and letting freelancers know what Freelancers Union can do for them.
