""Negotiations have been just so long, and definitely I think we have not really reached a point in our contract that we're feeling very happy with. Both sides seem to be antsy for an agreement to be reached, and it just quite hasn't reached that point for us.""
""We've been making a lot of concessions throughout the process, and so we feel like the contract should be reached soon. What more directly got us on the path for strike authorization was protection of our jobs at the theater.""
Workers at Coolidge Corner Theatre voted to authorize a strike after prolonged negotiations for their first union contract. Spokesperson Ginny Hamlin indicated that while the vote signals readiness for action, the union seeks to engage further before striking. The union's primary concerns include job protection for part-time and seasonal workers and the implementation of self-service kiosks. Hamlin expressed frustration over the slow pace of negotiations, stating that both sides are eager for an agreement but have yet to reach a satisfactory point.
