this is a wider (and unsolved?) problem with Trade Unions that supposedly protect those in the "creative industries" - whether intentional or not their processes make things more difficult for folk who are from diverse backgrounds (or its simply unclear which union a modern "content creator" should even join or the benefit of doing so), which leads folk to bypass unions altogether and be put at further risk of exploitation - something which also happens with migrants. In fact my own father was sceptical of Trade Unions as in his day (1970s) they were openly hostile towards migrant workers and not a great deal better than the National Front!)

(I think the TUC did try to improve this a bit by 1980s, with partial success)
