The "Freelance Isn't Free Act" (FIFA) is a law passed by the New York City Council in 2016 that protects the labor rights of freelance workers. If you live in New York City or perform freelance work for companies there—including many major U.S. publishers—then you're protected by this act, which establishes the right to a written contract, timely and full payment, and protection from retaliation. In this free 30-minute presentation given exclusively for EFA members, Mohammed Kibria and Courtney Golden-Murphy explain exactly what FIFA means for your freelance editing business.
Mohammed Kibria is the community affairs associate from the External Affairs team at New York City's Department of Consumer & Worker Protection. Courtney Golden-Murphy is a court navigator who works with the Office of Labor & Policy Standards.
