The minimum wage should be $25/hour.

they make you be silent during the movie don't let them make you be silent out of it

Union busting is disgusting, *especially* when it comes from our favorite local “progressive” businesses. I stand with Alamo South workers against this illegal bullying from management and I hope you join me in boycotting the South Lamar location until further notice.

Hey @alamodrafthouse did your #unionbusting firm advise this? FOUL BEHAVIOR

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you in #ATX and beyond for your continued support. In Solidarity, #DrafthouseUnited

If you would like to join us in demanding that this employee be reinstated, please add your name to this petition: https://t.co/wG16e9xQtG If you would like to voice your opinion with #AlamoDrafthouse, please email comments@drafthouse.com

If you would like to join us in protesting what we believe to be an immoral act of retaliation, we encourage you to refund any tickets you may have already purchased for an upcoming screening by reaching out to manager.lamar@drafthouse.com

Yesterday management at #AlamoDrafthouseSouthLamar terminated the employment of a member of #DrafthouseUnited under what we believe to be a duplicitous pretext and a clear act of retaliation for Tuesday’s union activity.

With #RTXAustin over, I was going to see a movie at Alamo @drafthouse on South Lamar last night. Instead I came across a group of bad ass workers organizing for their rights and better wages! ✊ No way I'd EVER cross a picket line. Rock on @DrafthouseUnite! #SolidarityForever

NEW: 600 registered nurses in Austin, Texas are unionizing with @NationalNurses.

We are asking folks with plans to attend a movie at #AlamoDrafthouseSouthLamar to exchange their tickets for another date, as the venue will be even more understaffed than usual. We also ask you to be patient and kind to the staff that have opted to work today. 3/3

As before, we have received no real response from #AlamoDrafthouse other than back-channel rumors and vague promises disseminated from our Director of Operations. Therefore many members of #DrafthouseUnited have elected not to work today. 2/3

Of the many things #DrafthouseUnited initially petitioned for, we decided to narrow our focus, and asked that the staff of #AlamoDrafthouseSouthLamar be paid a #livingwage, or at least be provided a clear plan of action to that end, by June 30. 1/3

Previously on #DrafthouseUnited DU: Hey #AlamoDrafthouse y’all got a plan to pay your employees a #livingwage ? Alamo: DU:

Despite a dismissive response from management, many Austin, Texas residents have expressed their support for @drafthouse workers who announced their intent to unionize the South Lamar movie theater last month with the IWW's @DrafthouseUnite https://t.co/vhhp4TEykf

The loss of The Ritz is sad but what’s sadder perhaps is @alamodrafthouse corporate refusing to acknowledge @DrafthouseUnite for nearly month. I love Drafthouse theaters but I love service industry workers more.

Coming to #SXSW for #SXSWFilm? Let @drafthouse management and staff know that you support @DrafthouseUnite, the union of workers that make every good drafthouse experience possible.

Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime that’s why I organize on company time. #WhyWeOrganize
