Ritzy Cinemas dispute
Ritzy Cinema workers have been campaigning for Picturehouse and
Cineworld Cinemas to pay the London Living Wage across all London cinemas for
just short of ten years. In a repeat of one of the largest strikes in UK cinema
history in February, five Picturehouse cinemas went on strike simultaneously on
Easter Saturday 15 April. There was further action on May 1st.
Workers at Picturehouse cinemas have been striking since last September
for the Living Wage. Picturehouse continue to refuse negotiations
despite owner Cineworld announcing £93.8 million profit for 2016 last
month.
Members of the campaign have been calling for a public boycott of
Picturehouse and their owners Cineworld since 25 February.
