The Canadian Media Guild announced today that members of the union’s freelance branch can now enroll in group medical and dental benefits through the Writers Coalition. The program has been designed specifically with artists and media freelancers in mind.
“We are glad to make this opportunity available to our members,” says Don Genova, president of the CMG freelance branch. “Benefits are part of the safety net that is often missing for freelancers.”
