Absolutely would join. Let's catch up with other creative/media industries and unionize already.
What would they offer me and my family for stick our necks out on the chopping block?
I’m in
Definitely.
Not until at-will employment is outlawed
All this Ad talent and we can’t advertise the benefits of unionized labor on the low low.
Hello, I’m a dual-card member of the I.W.W. and Freelancers Union, would you like to talk about our lord and savior The International Advertising Creatives Union?!
No agency can fire you for talking about a Union (but they’ll more than likely will,) another option to consider cooperatives.
I’d like to think that I would. But after so many rounds of layoffs at my current agency...I’m not sure.
Yes
I would love to but unfortunately, I'm pretty sure that even talking about a union will get me laid off and probably blacklisted, and I've got a family to support.
If you think these agencies don't give a fuck about people now, wait until we start unionizing. They will fight back hard at the holding company level. And there are a million freelancers out there willing to do our jobs after we're blacklisted.
I’m in the Communications Workers of America for one of my freelance gigs- the gig is creating communications for unions so I kind of had to. I don’t know for sure if advertising would fall under their umbrella but I imagine it would.
