Saw a vid yesterday where a guy said if Cynthia Erivo had stayed in the UK rather than moved to the US she'd "have ended up as an extra in Hollyoaks", a damning indictment on the UK industry, even though she won an Olivier Award here before America picked her up to play the same role on Broadway.

An article in the Indo with Myles Dungan that almost calls out illegal bogus self employment, but completely misses the links to “freelance” work within the wider media ecosystem. Apparently Gay Byrne invented bogus self employment…
!["Gay had to start from scratch and was involved in negotiations to do a Late Late-style show in the US,"
Dungan says.
RTÉ was desperate not to lose him - and other wildly popular figures, like Marian Finucane - and so a mutually advantageous work arrangement evolved that eventually became more widespread.
This had knock-on effects for staff like Dungan, however. He sometimes found reporters on contracts earned more than he did as presenter.
"At that stage I thought you're taking the piss, folks, and so I said I'm going to resign and go on a freelance contract, which I did."
He says he was "one of the in-betweeners", earning more than had he been on staff, but "not anything approaching the money Ryan [Tubridy] would end up earning or Pat [Kenny] was earning".
Did the whole set-up of contractors, who effectively performed the role of staff, seem like a racket? "Yeah, it did.
It was a racket. But it was a racket RTÉ started," Dungan says.
And while there was seemingly less security "unless you were totally useless and made a balls of stuff, the contracts were simply rolled over".
Still, he found it "wasn't all it was cracked up to be... no pension, no holiday pay, no sick pay". It rankled with him that some of the best-paid presenters were staff, enjoying the best of both worlds.
"There's no doubt about it, it got out of hand, and it was partly because of the onset of independent radio and RTÉ's fear they would lose people. Some of which, they did," Dungan says.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:eam4odatenowhwdlijf3ypz4/bafkreiexfnvmgz4nble6k6o6xczam2aj5i5vaeezdewwddyawybbfidrre@jpeg)
