FILM & TV TECHNICIAN
June/July 1957
Department for Paramount News had been transferred to the Agency pay-roll and would be paid under the terms of the Newsreel Agreement. The Company was set up to supply a world-wide News Film service, available to anyone interested. Processing would be done at the Rank Laboratory, Acton. The organisation was still in its development stage, and if it prospered as anticipated, the Agency had in mind offering a seven-day service round the clock which might necessitate shift work in the Cutting Rooms. The Council agreed that the TV Producer/ Directors' Section and all TV Shop Stewards be advised to watch for any material coming from this agency and let Head Office know if the material is going to a TV Company. Also, Head Office should advise the Agency that at this stage we are not prepared to commit ourselves to agreeing that all work of this nature would necessarily come under the terms of the Newsreel Agreement.
TELEVISION: Since the last report Paddy Leech had spent a week-end in Manchester at the
A. B.C. Television Studios. A large number of individual cases are being taken up, and our membership here is growing stronger in numbers and more conscious of what can be won by Union action. In A.R.T.V. an individual claim on behalf of a Production Assistant has been won. Union representations have also resulted in two more redundant Control Operators being re-engaged. The Executive Committee agreed that the General Secretary should write to the T.V.P.C.A. to the effect that, unless the Agreement is signed and operating by July 1st, strong action will be taken to obtain a settlement.
BANK SCREEN SERVICES — APPRENTICES: Our members at this unit ask the Executive to open up negotiation < with the Management with regard to apprenticeship. They are not satisfied that their scheme is working satisfactorily. One meeting with the A.S.F.P. was held but the problem is still unresolved. The Executive instructed the Organiser to press for a meeting with the management.
