Freelancers Union Provides Workers With Health Care
When learning that she would be classified by her employer not as an employee, but as an "independent" contractor, Sara Horowitz decided to do something, not just accept denial of benefits and security from her job.

Horowitz and her work with the Freelancers Union were recently covered in a New York Times article.
