The Picturehouse strike is entering a crucial phase, with the workers building links at more and more cinemas but management going on the offensive. They have sacked four union reps at the Ritzy, in South London, where the strike began.
There will be more strikes soon. Please do everything you can to help the dispute win.
MORE INFORMATION
For political background on the dispute, see the interview we did with two of the sacked reps (at that point not yet sacked) in Clarion issue 4, here. (They are right, we need to get Jeremy Corbyn to a picket line!)
For the general website of the Picturehouse workers’ campaign, with links to materials on the individual cinemas, see www.picturehouselivingwage.com
For links to all the Facebook groups for campaigns by workers at the individual cinemas, see here. To contact local support groups, see here.
For the campaign to get the four sacked union reps reinstated, which also has lots of useful more general campaign resources, see picturehousefour.org
If you have any questions or requests, email via here.
FUNDRAISING
These are low paid workers, raising money for their strike fund (and to support the sacked reps and win their reinstatement) is very important.
For fundraising resources and information including the crowdfunder for supporting the sacked reps, the union strike fund, a collection sheet to collect at meetings and more, see here.
Please also consider organising a fundraising event, benefit gig, etc.
