After a 58-day strike, workers from two Alamo Drafthouse locations in New York City are set to return to work following a deal with management regarding layoffs. The union, aligned with United Auto Workers Local 2179, ratified the agreement, which reinstates around 70 staff members and restores their accrued benefits. This agreement comes after the union alleged the management failed to bargain in good faith, leading to an unfair labor practice charge. As negotiations for their first labor contract continue, the workers’ return to their posts marks a resolution to this labor conflict.
After 58 days on strike, workers at two Alamo Drafthouse locations in New York City can return to the multiplex. The union has reached a deal over layoffs.
'Strike won! All jobs are back!' the union announced in a social media post on Monday. 'We will be returning to work officially on April 18 but feel free to start patronizing the Alamos in BK & Manhattan as soon as today.'
The agreement ratified on Sunday will reinstate the 70-odd staffers that were cut at the theaters as well as restore their previously accrued paid time off, sick time.
The labor group, which is still negotiating its first labor contract, will return to the bargaining table with management on Wednesday, a UAW Local 2179 representative told THR.
