Today I was informed by @Equinox I will not be paid over $8000 they owe me for content/copywriting. "Equinox will not be making invoice payments until further notice." This is illegal in New York State. Any journalists interested in following up? @nytimes @TheAtlantic @guardian

This was for work completed in February and first half of March, before the shutdown. I was planning to live on it for the next few months.

[1/2] UPDATE: I got a call from Equinox to say my invoices will be paid, & #39;likely& #39; this week. I understand other writers will have their invoices paid too. If I& #39;m not paid next week, I will continue to pursue a course of action. I HAVE LEARNED SO MUCH about what to do if ...

[2/2] you& #39;re a freelancer and a company withholds payment. I& #39;m going to compile a concise, easily shareable resource with a step-by-step course of action. Why should we expend time + energy on this when we have sick ppl to care for, mental health to protect, etc. Stay tuned.
