Following the interest shown in the new BECTU Theatre Freelancers’ Branch, Paul Arditti - ASD Sound Designer and BECTU Branch Rep - will be leading what promises to be a lively discussion on why freelancers need a union, and how consensus between different jobs and technical departments could lead to better pay and conditions for everyone. The discussion is open to theatre freelancers of all disciplines and experience.
