John McVay, the boss of the UK TV producer trade body, has ignited a war of words with the British actors union as the pair prepare to thrash out a new deal that could be influenced by events State…
“We’re always in the room with the unions and guilds and we’re already in the room with Equity,” said McVay. “[Fleming’s comments] may have warmed the cockles of his union colleagues but we’re always trying to fix things and want to keep everyone working.”
McVay rubbished the idea of UK TV workers going on strike – branding any action “really bad for the most poorly-paid people” – while drawing a line between labor laws in the UK and U.S. “The industrial relationship in America is completely different,” added McVay. “They have guillotine agreements and cliff edges whereas we have a constant dialogue, which is very British.”
In the UK, Equity is negotiating separate agreements with Pact, the BBC and ITV, with the union demanding a 15% rise in basic pay as well as provisions around AI and secondary payments, much like SAG.
