In December of 2013 we posted a story about Venture Publishing in Alberta. We'd been hearing from a lot of freelancers who were having trouble getting paid for their work in a timely manner.

Three years later, we're still hearing from freelancers who are waiting as long as 18 months for their invoices to be paid.

Is Venture Publishing remiss in paying for your work in Alberta Venture, Alberta Oil, or any of Venture's custom publications? If so, the Canadian Media Guild's Freelance Branch would like to hear from you.

Please email Branch President Don Genova at organizer@canadianfreelanceguild.ca. All correspondence will be kept confidential.

The CMG's Freelance Branch works to improve conditions for freelancers (minimum rates, predictable payment cycles, contract language and more) and garner respect for freelance contributors from peers and engagers.
