I've no idea Jeremy. The BECTU website doesn't say.


Perhaps other branches aren't heavily unionised or pay is decided locally rather than centrally through a sort of franchise model?


But I agree a Picturehouse-wide ballot would have been more useful.

While I appreciate the inconvenience for customers, a Friday night is most effective for the impact it has on the business's takings. A strike on a Mon morning would be pointless, no?

That's what I meant- Ritzy/Picturehouses know this film is going to be mass and have been promoting it for some time-timing may well be sheer coincidence for the release but could not have been fortunate for getting noticed. We're Ritzy members and fully support the action.

The staff are great and I applaud their action.

we looked at booking on Tuesday and all was all sold out. I think many may have cancelled tonight and Picturehouses are getting a skeleton staff from other branches to cover, please don't cross the friendly picket line

      Give the Monster Raving Loony party a shot. They cannot be worst that what is around now.

      I’m going to stick my Gregory Peck right out and say not the Tories.

      I think there's a lot in what you say. Although bi election results aren't usually indicative of GE results, I was horrified to see Reform support was so high in what had previously been a Labour stronghold, Labour and Conservative results reflecting the tired old parties they are.  It isn't our generation (sorry @Sue if I'm being presumptuous!) that will decide the outcome of elections but those in their 20s, 30s, 40s ... if they can be bothered to vote. The Greens and Reform now present a real choice instead of two centrist main parties of the last 30 years which has put people off voting. Perhaps locally I will continue to vote Labour, i really couldn't bear for the LibDems to return and we have to consider the demographic of the whole of Southwark. But come the GE I will probably vote Green.

      I agree but in the case of McAsh, that would just have left his constituents without a councillor for 3 months until the May elections. MPs switching parties is really galling. If an MP is suspended for law breaking etc., then a recall petition can be issued and, if enough of the constituents support it, a by-election is called. I think the same should apply for defectors.
