  • The union was founded by technicians at the Gaumont British Studios in 1933 as the Association of Cine-Technicians (ACT). It elected George Elvin as its first General Secretary the following year. ACT began organising film laboratory workers and in 1955, it extended its coverage to represent technicians working on ITV, and the following year incorporated "Television" into its name. The union repeatedly discussed potential mergers with the Association of Broadcasting Staff (ABS), which represented the equivalent workers at the BBC, but these foundered until in 1991 it finally merged with the Broadcasting and Entertainment Trades Alliance, the successor to the ABS, to form the Broadcasting, Entertainment, Cinematograph and Theatre Union.
