Seems the strike did a good job, thanks for the support

Hoping that all you good-minded people are preparing to support the strikers on Saturday. Time to step up.

I don't much like the word 'Jeez' but I on't get upset or SHOUT about it. Why did I use the phrase? Because there's quite a few ill-informed comments on here about this issue. People have a responsibility to educate themselves before commenting, really Have a nice evening.

edphstaff - you do have support, don't feel you're alone. People commenting on here who have educated themselves know how Cineworld / Picturehouse are abusing their staff's goodwill. People can see through the 'independent' facade and know you are employed by money-grabbing, exploitative capitalists. Anybody who pays a penny to PH needs to give their head a wobble.

Could you let us know how you've come to that conclusion please? Maybe you could read about Ritzy striking workers before you answer
