Bectu, the UK union for the creative industries, says nearly 3,000 of its members have already lost money as a result of the disruption caused by the spread of coronavirus. The union surveyed 5,600…
The union surveyed 5,600 people and found that 46% of respondents were out of pocket. From 1,500 who replied in detail, 456 said they had lost £5,000 , 457 reported losing £2,000-£5,000 and 591 said they had lost up to £2,000 .
From the survey, many respondents indicated that they were concerned about future loss of earnings. In total, 131 people said they were facing losing over £40,000 , 437 said they could lose £20,000-40,000 and 783 people said they may lose up to £20,000 . Members have asked for Bectu to lobby the government to cover pay if public events are banned. Film and TV crew also highlighted that they need sick pay to cover periods of self-isolation.
“Bectu can’t emphasise enough how urgently we need the government to act. This survey started just after the Budget announcement. We have since had another update from the Chancellor but still nothing for freelancers, the self-employed and those on zero hours contracts,” said Bectu Head Philippa Childs.
