About
Christine Bond is the first women President of BECTU.
The result of the President election was announced at the close of BECTU’s 2010 Annual Conference on 15 May 2010.
Christine’s aim is to work for an active and aware membership.
To do that Christine believes the union needs to:
- Develop and support the Divisions and build campaigns to support our Branches.
- Encourage inter-Divisonal events and conferences to build an awareness of our union as a whole.
- Campaign hard on the issues facing our union:
- Attacks on the BBC, its funding and development of it’s web based future.
- Reductions in commissioning budgets for productions.
- Attempts to develop a low pay/no pay culture in independent film.
- The continued casualisation of jobs and the loss of agreed benefits as members face constant change of employers.
- The reductions in regional news and programming.
Christine said: “I am proud to be an activist in BECTU. I believe that it is our collective strength that creates the best and fairest workplace and that the union must encourage and find ways for members, new and old, to become active”.
