In this study, I explore how a hybrid union of freelance media workers in New York was successful in maintaining union membership compared to other types of unions operating in the same space. I use an inductive approach to gather and analyze data in the form of 39 semi-structured interviews with union members, leaders, and legislators. I argue that hybrid union has structures and processes that interact with each other to drive the freelancer focus of the union, gain meaningful workplace rights, and regulate the industry. The contribution of my work is in uncovering the mechanism of hybridity and its many dimensions that might be helpful to further class interests within organizations.
