London, UK. 25th February 2017. Workers from four Picturehouse cinemas at Brixton, Hackney, Wood Green and Picturehouse Central meet outside the Empire Cinema in Leicester Square to campaign for recognition of their union BECTU and to be paid the London Living Wage. The protest, timed for tomorrow's Oscars ceremony, started outside the Empire Cinema in Leicester Square, newly acquired by Cineworld, the owners of Picturehouse Cinemas. Cineworld offer employees a company run staff forum rather than recognising trade unions and fail to pay their London staff a living wage or provide decent conditions of service, despite large profits from cinema-goers paying £13 or more to see a film. The staff are striking for £ per hour, while Mooky Greidinger, CEO of Cineworld gets around 60 times as much.
