*PLEASE COME DOWN FOR 2.15pm TO GREET WORKERS AS THEY WALK OUT AT 2.45p*

EAST DULWICH PICTUREHOUSE WORKERS ARE GOING ON STRIKE!

JOIN US OUTSIDE THE CINEMA ON SATURDAY THE 27TH TO SHOW YOUR SUPPORT!

Picturehouse management have refused to pay us Living Wage, they have refused to recognise our chosen trade union, and they have refused to grant adequate sick pay, maternity and paternity pay. And what?s more, they have refused even to meet with us to discuss these matters. Regrettably, we have been left with no option but to withdraw our labour.

Join us from 2.15 right opposite the cinema where there?ll be music, speeches, a whole bunch of people venting their anger at a company that made ?93.8 million post-tax profit and refuses to negotiate sharing this fairly.

The campaign started last year with just one cinema, The Ritzy in Brixton, and now there are 6 cinemas striking together at East Dulwich on the day. The movement is growing but we need your help.

This time, due to the other 5 sites renewing their ballot, it will be only East Dulwich on strike so we need as much support as possible. So please invite friends and share this event! There may well be a trip to the pub after too.

See you on Saturday the 27th! ✊✌

Our local Labour MP Helen Hayes has promised to come to our picket on Saturday and say a few words

She's been really supportive of our campaign so far and has previously put forward a motion in the house of commons arguing that Picturehouse workers should be paid the living wage
