Contract Survey
The CFU is considering building a template contract that freelancers could use to structure the contracts they sign with clients. Please fill out this survey so we can learn more about how contracts are used.
If you are a member, please log into the account associated with your membership via the panel on the right before starting the survey.

Andrew Wetmore commented on Swag 2016-11-14 17:49:51 -0500It would be possible to create print-on-demand products through a service such as Cafe Press (http://www.cafepress.ca/+causes+gifts) without having to deploy a lot of money up-front. I would love to have a branded jacket, or even a t-shirt that would let me be a walking billboard for CFU when appropriate.
Would there be any issue with my using the CFU logo to demonstrate what Cafe Press products would look like, and what their cost would be?

Andrew Wetmore commented on CFU / Unifor launches first-ever freelancer organizing drive 2015-11-06 06:10:10 -0500Being an organized freelancer is like having the best of two worlds. I know CFU has my back when I need support, information, or community feedback; and, since I work remotely, I can go to work in my pyjamas.

Playwright, writer, editor
Freelancing is lonely work, and often you can be vulnerable to unfair behaviour by clients or employers. For me, being able to say I am part of the CFU makes a statement about the quality standards I hold myself to, and the expectations of adult, equitable behaviour I hold my clients to.
