The ongoing negotiations on working conditions on high end TV between U.K. producers body Pact and crew union Bectu have hit a wall, with the former suggesting that the latter’s proposals are…
Theon productions costing up to £7 million an hour were shorter working days, additional pay for prep and wrap, payment for working unsocial hours, a higher overtime fee cap and paying days worked over public holidays at double time. This would apply on all scripted productions including comedy and children’s shows.
“We have been clear from the beginning that the updated agreement needs to urgently address the long hours and wellbeing crisis our members are facing. The current offer does not do that; many of the improvements only apply to shooting hours/days, devaluing work done outside filming hours, and there are loopholes that would allow productions to schedule around penalties.
However, on Tuesday, Pact deputy CEO and director of business affairs, Max Rumney said: “Pact has made a progressive offer which is a serious attempt to address workplace conditions and the work/life balance. It will be a retrograde step that risks immense damage to TV scripted production in the U.K. if it is thrown out in favour of Bectu’s proposal to its members which is completely unviable and stands no chance of being implemented on productions.
