The workers at Cinema Village are driven by a passion for film and want to unionize not just for better wages but also to improve the programming of the theater and ensure its financial success. Head projectionist Lee Peterson emphasized their dedication: 'We love this theater. We're invested. We feel like this is our theater. And we want it to run in the best way it can.'
Nine out of 10 Cinema Village workers signed union cards to join United Auto Workers Local 2179, aiming to replicate the success of the union at other movie theaters like Alamo Drafthouse branches. Cinema Village's owner has yet to respond to the union's request for recognition.
