Bectu Union Protests 'Broken Turnaround' Practices at Major U.K. Studios
The Bectu union, representing U.K. film and TV crew members, has organized a protest against major production companies like Netflix, Amazon, and Disney over the issue of 'broken turnaround'—the failure to provide adequate rest periods between work shifts. The protest highlights the detrimental effects of this practice on workers' health and productivity. Bectu is advocating for better enforcement of rest periods and compensation for overtime work. The union has sent a letter to producers' body Pact, urging them to address these issues and improve working conditions for crew members.
