Unscripted TV Union (part of Bectu)

Yes! Freelancers & the self employed need better protections in the UK. @Bectu we’ve been campaigning for employers & legislators to do better to support their invaluable workers or skills and experience will continue to disappear from the industry as people vote with their feet

Great to have our latest research on the state of the TV industry cited by @BBCRosAtkins to kick off day 2 of @EdinburghTVFest. Workers must be top of the agenda as the industry looks ahead. We're looking forward to digging into these issues later today and across the festival.

Our Co-Chair @JteaV is in Edinburgh on a panel on Wednesday representing freelancers and talking about how we make our industry more equitable and sustainable for those who work in it, as part of our ongoing campaign work. More to come!
