*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

    • Another recommendation for Niko who identified a leak in my lavatory and sorted it.  Helpful and good to deal with.
    • The SSRS app (Safer seas and rivers service), is worth downloading. It gives you real time updates on water safety / sewage discharges. It's pretty eye opening / alarming, how regularly areas are not safe, but reassuring when you do get the 'all clear'. 
    • The programme was brilliant and makes me wary now of sea paddling as so many areas affected. My daughter was working at a bank when privatisation of utility companies were floated. Bank advised its staff that only x number of shares could be purchased by individuals as Government rules at that time. She reported that certain people were seeking double and triple shares. Bank told her to ignore the guidelines as those customers had thousands of pounds in the bank. She was so disgusted at the banks attitude she handed in her notice, She decided that the financial world was too corrupt. Two degrees later - she now works in the NHS as an OT in mental health unit. 
    • Out of the corner of my eye I thought I saw a white (?cabbage white?) butterfly. It's awfully early, isn't it?
