What we’re about
There is no charge to attend National Writers Union Steering Committee and Political Committee meetings.
Anyone who has creations may come to the NATIONAL WRITERS MEETINGS and be considered for assistance in maintaining their royalities, payments, sales, and rights.
The Philadelphia Chapter would like to welcome all who have been stolen from, and those who wish to be protected against the thieves through this basic need to resist.
PLEASE GO TO:
NWU.ORG
FOR THE NATIONAL WRITERS UNION WEBSITE.
Please see events posted; as we are here to protect your interests and of all workers in direct support of each other. We will support you.
For example, we have a member who had work stolen: the writer found there were 19 seperate versions in various languages sold around the world. None of the language versions were granted to be published by the author.
Another member had been a editor-poster for an internet website. Our member contacted the union and the union assisted in providing a strategy and a letter to have the people who wrote our member back off and cease calling to have him end his legal, socially just website.
One member had signed a contract with a publisher who demanded an added $2,000.00 after having been paid $3,000.00. The member had not recieved copies of the publication and the publisher demanded the additional funds for editing, only.
Ee have had a case against Ebony and Jet magazines in which at least 40 writers had not bern psid for their work.
At our last National Executive Committee meeting, we continued discussion of the case won for give writers who won a million dollars for writing produced but were not paid for.
These are the types of vile cases of abuse and the saunch, hard fighting members we have. Find out how the union can make a difference in the grave situations you have.
