Working in Woman's Collective
|
A collective is one where a group of WG’s work independently in conjunction with other WG’s. In a collective, all members pay a share of the rent and contribute to the outgoing costs i.e. advertising, supplies etc The Pros: Your working hours can be flexible. You have the security of working with other women. You are not accountable to a ‘manager’ You are free to market yourself as an independent You have ultimate control over your working practice and what you wish to charge. The money is very good The Cons:It is sometimes hard to find a group of WG’s who know each other well enough to gel in a collective Ultimately one person has to agree to hold the lease. This could lead to a power imbalance. The women who holds the lease could theoretically will be the one on the line should the police become interested. Chasing ‘subs’ can be a problem if you choose the wrong working partners |
