Tonight from 6:30-9:30, workers will set up a picket line outside the theater on Second Street at Second Avenue. The activities include a selection of "anti-capitalist shorts" screened outside.
According to the letter posted to the @AFAworkers account, AFA staff voted unanimously last year to unionize with UAW Local 2110, whose members include employees at cultural institutions such as BAM, MoMA and the Guggenheim.
As the letter states, "AFA's negotiating position and current contract offer are untenable."
Read on for more details.
Tonight's screenings at the 52-year-old theater include two showings of Ted Fendt's "Outside Noise."🗣️AFA WORKERS ON STRIKE!
