Bectu and Disney Theatrical Productions reach three-year pay deal

Published Tuesday 4 November 2008 at 17:20 by Judith Hawkins

Bectu and Disney Theatrical Productions have reached a three-year pay deal, including a 5% increase on basic rates for 2008/9, commencing from August 19 of this year.

These rates will be increased by either 4% or by the rate of inflation in 2009/10 and 2010/11, depending on which is greatest at the time.

Among those to benefit from the new agreement are the technical staff working at the Lyceum Theatre’s long-running production of Disney’s The Lion King.

With the exception of resident technicians who are not covered by the deal, long-awaited changes to working practices for technical staff will be made, along with improvements to both their holiday and sick pay entitlement.

Bectu supervisory official Willy Donaghy commented: “We are pleased with the new agreement and look forward to continuing to support staff on the production during its implementation.”

Work will begin soon on a new staff handbook and the contracts of staff affected will be updated in line with the agreement.
