Hire A Union Writer
NWU is starting a new service, replacing the old Job Hotline with Hire A Union Writer, a space where members can market themselves for work as a writer with a link to their blog, website or resume.
While we don’t expect it to be an overnight hit as a hiring hall, it can be a place where other unions and progressive organizations can find union writers. Over time, we will try to promote the site to other potential employers. Also, some BizTech writers and others are eligible for unemployment insurance which they may find easier to collect if they are registered as available for work with their union.
On the Members Only section of the website, you will find a short form to fill out, including room for a 50-word description of the kind of writing you do and your experience. That will go to our webmaster who will post it on the public Hire A Union Writer page along with the link of your choice.
We especially want to thank veteran member/activist Bruce Hartford, who helped to establish the original Job Hotline and who suggested this new service for our members. Credit goes as well to the members who have urged us to revive the Job Hotline. When members speak, we listen.
MEMBERS, SIGN-IN, GO TO THE MEMBERS ONLY SECTION, AND GET STARTED NOW!

My knack for business communications and proficiency in wrenching landed me in the defense industry, where I served as a vehicle sustainment logistics engineer until the launch of my writing and editorial services business, Powerplay Communications, in 2010. In meeting the communications needs of my clients, I tap the full range of my professional skills and subject-matter expertise, from constructing a business case for a proposed new product to editing manuscript for a reference title. A quick study, thorough researcher, and master wordsmith, I demonstrate an aptitude for writing on any topic. |
