A workers union that provides protection from overwork and burnout.

I'd honestly pass on joining otherwise. Would rather not revolve my whole life around advertising especially if I'm being overworked, it's the last thing I'd want to think about.

I also hope that if you’re feeling extreme burnout that you have someone you feel comfortable going to with your concerns. I agree that overworking is a serious issue in our industry and needs to be addressed.

Book or film viewing club could be fun
Discounts to certain events (ie buying tickets as a group) or tours of places usually difficult to access as an individual (eg: art gallery tours for a group)
Mentorship program for juniors
Networking events for interns

These would be great for someone who has just moved to the area but still need some core group to take responsibility to get them going
