Prospect General Secretary Mike Clancy spoke at the @bestforbritain.bsky.social event this morning on what the Creative Industries need from our future relationship with Europe. @prospectunion.bsky.social and Bectu members need a reset built on enhanced cooperation and mutual benefit with the EU.

Misogyny, intimidation, ageism and sexual harassment should have no place in modern workplaces. Yet these issues continue to run rampant in the creative industries – propped up by inadequate reporting mechanisms, a lack of accountability and extreme power dynamics.

NEW 🚨| Head of Bectu Philippa Childs spoke to The Today Programme this morning to discuss the allegations surrounding Gregg Wallace. It is critical that freelancers feel empowered to come forward with concerns, and without fear that their careers will be adversely impacted.
