Britain’s most successful arthouse cinema is shut down for the day as Ritzy cinema workers in Brixton, South London, strike for a living wage
Britain’s most successful arthouse cinema is shut down for the day as Ritzy cinema workers in Brixton, South London, strike for a living wage – and plan to strike again over the coming Easter weekend. They are at the forefront of a growing movement in London to unionise cinemas and win every worker the Lonodn living wage – which they also hope will inspire low paid workers across the capital to do the same.
