🎬 Lights, Camera, Union!

A Free Webinar by Set Starters in Partnership with BECTU

Are you new to the film and TV industry and wondering what a union actually does  or whether you should join one?

Join us for Lights, Camera, Union!, a live webinar designed to demystify trade unions and explore how BECTU, the UK’s media and entertainment union, can support you throughout your career.

Together, Set Starters and BECTU will walk you through:

• What a union is (and isn’t)
• Why unions matter in the screen industries
• The benefits of joining BECTU
• How collective bargaining works
• Real-life scenarios where the union has stepped in to support its members

Whether you’re a runner, a recent graduate, or just starting out on set, this session is your chance to ask the questions you might be too nervous to ask anywhere else.
