We know what solidarity means, and we will keep fighting and making our voices heard until people get their jobs back!

Join us as we take our fight to the streets, making sure everyone in New York City knows that Alamo and Sony are committing labor crimes against their staff, throwing 70 people to the dogs with illegal layoffs.

April 9th will be 54 days on strike, 2 days before our first bargaining session with Sony Alamo in over 4 weeks.

NYC Alamo United is excited to have a new group of soldiers alongside us in the war to make Sony and Alamo treat their workers with the respect and dignity they deserve.

Follow their fight on Bluesky and Instagram @ slaughterhouseu.

With their courage–and the support of unionized comrades across the country–SlaughterHouse United will win recognition and the right to bargain a fair contract.

While the incoming union-busting campaign by Sony Alamo (the first since the acquisition) will no doubt be fierce, we have no doubt that the workers will remain steadfast.

What they didn’t expect was our willingness, readiness, and ability to fight for our rights, respect, and dignity as workers.
Our struggle is not ours alone; all workers, all PEOPLE, are stronger when we stand together.

Alamo’s exploitation of its workers has gone unchecked for too long—and, when Sony purchased Alamo for $200 million dollars, the multimedia conglomerate expected the ability to continue that culture of exploitation.

As a result, many people were informed they no longer had a way to pay their bills or feed themselves mere hours before they were scheduled.
This is unfortunately par for the course.

At those locations, venue management were informed of the layoffs the night before they were to take effect and told to simply call whatever number of people Sony Alamo decided was necessary to be culled the next morning.

Workers at Slaughter Lane (and every other non-unionized Alamo in the country) didn’t have that option.

As a result, our bargaining committee was able to inform our members of the potential layoffs–&, when the company unilaterally decided to move forward with them anyway, to file a ULP charge against them with the NLRB & go out on strike w the full protection of federal labor law.

At the unionized Alamo locations here in Manhattan and Brooklyn, Sony Alamo had an obligation to bargain over these layoffs.

NYC Alamo United is currently on strike because of the same layoffs SlaughterHouse United cites as a main reason for their unionization:

“The inhumane layoffs, given without warning or severance, which stole hard earned PTO hours from all affected, were the last straw for us.”

NYC Alamo United stands in solidarity with SlaughterHouse United. Today, March 25th, our newly-unionized comrades at Alamo’s Slaughter Lane location in Austin, Texas delivered their demand for recognition with the UAW to Alamo Drafthouse management.
