What has Bectu ever done for us?

An Online Event about Your Union at the BBC

Held on Thursday 20th November @ 1.30pm-2.30pm, join via Teams

As part of Union Week we’re hosting an online event open to all BBC and BBC Studios staff members and non-members alike. Bectu reps and officers will deliver a whistle stop tour of the role of the union at the BBC and across the industry. Join us as we cover:

  • How unions work and the rights they provide
  • How pay, policies, and T&Cs are negotiated at the BBC and your contribution
  • Bectu’s lobbying work with government and industry bodies, advocating for the BBC and creative workers
  • Q&A

Find out why you and Bectu are a vital part of shaping work to make it better for everyone.
