Now that @nycalamounited.bsky.social has voted to ratify the temporary agreement and return to work, read why their strike needed to happen in the first place and how they maintained solidarity and momentum for 58 days.
For the past two months, I've been speaking to striking Alamo Drafthouse workers in New York about their grievances with the company and battling for a new contract. This is the result. For Mubi Notebook. Check it out. mubi.com/en/notebook/...

Congratulations to @nycalamounited.bsky.social!
Workers stood strong for 58 days and won:
💪Every single laid off workers’ job back, guaranteed.
💪All previously earned (and stolen) PTO and sick time reinstated.
💪Their original seniority and hire date as if nothing has changed.

Stuart Cinema & Cafe, BAM, Film Forum, Metrograph, Cobble Hill Cinemas, Angelika, IFC Center, Roxy, Nitehawk just to name a few!! (fun fact, Nitehawk is unionized under the same UAW Local as us and we think that’s pretty cool ☺️)
I was looking up movie times for the new Captain America movie at Alamo Drafthouse when I found out that they illegally fired their staff. Does anyone have a recommendation for a theater that cares about their workers?
