The article details a labor strike at Alamo Drafthouse, instigated by the layoffs of 70 employees, leading to protests from Brooklyn and Manhattan theater workers. Filmmakers Tyler Trautman and Sebastian Diaz are documenting this strike, which began after UAW Local 2179 filed an unfair labor practice charge. Their documentary captures union activities and the motivations behind the walkout on February 14, illustrating the unfolding labor dynamics and the filmmakers' sense of responsibility to archive these events for future reference.
I felt the obligation to make sure this was documented for posterity so that we, as a union, have access to that information, like, yeah, that happened.
Unless our employees are going to go out and make some moves that are going to be blockbusters in the next 4-8 weeks, we do not have the need for our current level of staffing, based on market trends.
