Becoming a Member

We have over 1000 members who work in all areas, grades and genres within picture and sound editorial as freelancers and staff from Post Production Runners to award-winning Picture and Sound Editors.

​

Our union is run by our members, for our members and we are powered by being part of Bectu a sector of our parent union, Prospect. The more members we have, the stronger we are. A workplace with 90% membership is in a much stronger position to resist and team up against poor conditions than one with 60% membership.

​
