Latest news of bectu

Head of Bectu, Philippa Childs, responded to reports that the BBC plans to outsource jobs.

The numbers come from a survey conducted by Bectu, the UK’s trade union for the creative industries, which surveyed more than 2,300 film and TV workers from across the UK. Following a February 2024 survey which found that 68% were not currently working, the latest survey indicates a slow and small recovery as work in some areas picks up, although very few are benefitting. 

UK broadcasting union Bectu’s members have rejected the latest terms offered by trade body Pact, putting the TV drama agreement they both have in jeopardy.
