Ritzy Cinema bosses threaten staff with a lockout if they dare to take strike action
BOSSES at The Ritzy Cinema in Brixton, south London, have threatened staff with a lockout if they go ahead with plans for a 13-day strike in their long wages fight.
Workers across the Picturehouse chain, which runs the Ritzy, in London are calling for a living wage, sick pay and reinstatement of four sacked union representatives.
The campaign began 16 months ago, but Picturehouse, which is owned by the transnational giant Cineworld, has refused to enter negotiations.
