The union represents employed, short-term contract and freelance staff working in broadcasting, cinema, film, digital media, independent production, leisure, IT and telecoms, theatre and the arts. It provides support, specialist advice, and vocational training. Membership is voluntary, and anyone working or seeking employment in the sectors covered by BECTU can become a member.

The union offers an invaluable support network for professionals working at MediaCityUK and right across the North West region.”
