“Coronavirus has been a gut punch to self-employed people.”

“People aren’t just ‘slipping through the cracks’, they are falling into the abyss.”

“Due to a lack of understanding and misrepresentation, many people presume self-employed people are playing the system or at worst, that we’re tax dodgers fiddling the system. Had a union like Community not existed for us when coronavirus hit, that perception may have persisted and the government wouldn’t have been forced to offer us support package us through the earlier part of the pandemic.”
