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

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. – at Austin, TX

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

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 iww.org/posts/2022-03-11-ala…

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.
This is incredibly depressing.
