About Bectu
Bectu represents nearly 40,000 staff, contract and freelance workers in the media, entertainment and fashion industries. As the union for creative workers behind the scenes in the creative industries, your union is acutely aware of the issues both freelancers and employees face at work.
The state of working conditions in the fashion industry has not been helped by the pandemic as outlined in Vogue, with financial instability and the mental health burden on workers in fashion both increasing.
Fashion UK is a branch of Bectu, the first union branch dedicated to supporting non-performance creatives in the fashion sector. A branch is a self-organising group within a union that organises in a particular sector and/or region.
As members, fashion creatives get one-to-one advice on any aspect of their work, everything from whether their pay is above national minimum wage to bullying. Take advantage of our competitive Public Liability Insurance. This insurance would cover items in your custody and control at work up to £25,000, and it indemnifies you against any personal injury claims against you or claims against you related to damage of items at work not in your custody and control up to a limit of £10 million. It also include a personal accident insurance plan. For full details of the policy, please click here. We also offer legal and career support, and a wide range of member benefits.
We believe working in Fashion doesn’t have to be like ‘The Devil Wears Prada’. Join Bectu today and tell your colleagues that they can join and get involved to improve conditions in the fashion industry. Make sure to put ‘Fashion’ and then your job role in the form under the job title section when signing up.
