Has anyone got any good film/tv unions worth joining? I feel like every company I work at doesn’t actually have one and I want that workers protection.

Same, but no recommendations. The fees I have seen to join have been kind of crazy when I was looking around. I’m sure one out there exists that is well worth it for the money, just haven’t sat down to really crunch the numbers yet.

I know there’s BECTU for film and tv but I’m not sure that’s worth it if I’m not freelance? It’s so hard to find one!

Look into the Film&TV Charity if you're UK Based. They offer a lot of free support & guidance if you're in the industry. Plus if you wanted to get a tighter union they may be able to give you advice.

I’ve never heard of this one before, I’ll check them out!

I’m part of BECTU, I pay £40 a year for it as a freelancer- it also includes public liability insurance which is great to have.

That’s not bad if they’re doing their job, not too sure if they operate for salaried workers but it’s definitely worth looking at.
