Creating Without Conflict

At the end of 2013, the Federation of Entertainment Unions published a survey, based on responses of more than 4,000 members, which identified media and entertainment workplaces as hotspots of bullying, harassment and discrimination. The Creating Without Conflict campaign has been our response

The main factors cited in the survey were the competitive nature of the work, which is often seen as glamorous, and the large number of freelancers who have less protection than staff. Most worrying was the almost tacit acceptance that bullying is part of the creative process and the creative industries, plus a work culture which allows ‘stars’ to behave in ways unacceptable to most people.
