2.5. Okay, so you're a real freelance union. So how come your president gets a full-time salary? (Natl Writers Union)
He doesn't. Not any more. (And he'll remain a "he" for at
least two years.)
The 2001 Delegates Assembly has voted to pay the president a
"part-time salary" of about $25K, and to hire a full-time
executive director at about $60K.
Some members disagree with even the part-time salary. The
president, they argue, should be a voluntary position,
with a stipend, not a salary, of about $12K, in recognition
of service to the union, and an expense account.
