Bectu has reported that Pact are delaying talks regarding a review of the TV Drama agreement, that was due in 2019. Pact have also issued their own guidance document that Bectu believes misrepresents the agreement, to the disadvantage of crew.
What does that mean for me?
This has resulted in longer contracted hours for crew. (Including up to 45mins of prep and also of wrap)
What are Bectu doing about it?
-
Bectu have written an open letter to PACT, and are asking all Bectu members and non members to sign it.
-
They have also launched a consultative ballot that members can vote in.
What should I do?
It's very simple, but very important for the future of the TV Drama agreement and your contracted hours. In order to show PACT that the Art Department is as strong and unified as the other departments, Bectu are asking for all Art Department crew to sign the open letter. Bectu members are also asked to vote in the ballot, alongside the other branches.
You can find further information and links to the letter and ballot on the Bectu Art Department Website.
