Description

This article is from the Natl Writers Union FAQ, by Vicki Richman nwufaq@vicric.com with numerous contributions by others.

2.2.3. Do "the benefits of solidarity" mean you offer group health insurance? (Natl Writers Union)

o The short answer:

Yes.

o The real answer:

The NWU represents its members in negotiating with insurers
for the best rate and most equitable policy. Then we
authorize the insurer with the winning bid to write up an
NWU group plan. We monitor the insurer's billing and
practices in the interests of our members.

Therefore, no, *we* don't offer health insurance. We
authorize a *health insurer* to offer an NWU group plan, and
we make sure our members are treated well.

This FAQ is on unions and freelance writing. The present NWU
group plan is beyond the scope of this FAQ. To learn what
the NWU health insurer offers, please phone the NWU office
during business hours.
