Seems the strike did a good job, thanks for the support

Hoping that all you good-minded people are preparing to support the strikers on Saturday. Time to step up.

I don't much like the word 'Jeez' but I on't get upset or SHOUT about it. Why did I use the phrase? Because there's quite a few ill-informed comments on here about this issue. People have a responsibility to educate themselves before commenting, really Have a nice evening.

edphstaff - you do have support, don't feel you're alone. People commenting on here who have educated themselves know how Cineworld / Picturehouse are abusing their staff's goodwill. People can see through the 'independent' facade and know you are employed by money-grabbing, exploitative capitalists. Anybody who pays a penny to PH needs to give their head a wobble.

How about Pride U.K. gay activists work to help miners during their lengthy strike of the National Union of Mineworkers in the summer of 1984. Are Picturehouse going to be paying the London Living Wage to their employees in Dulwich?
