Yesterday management at #AlamoDrafthouseSouthLamar terminated the employment of a member of #DrafthouseUnited under what we believe to be a duplicitous pretext and a clear act of retaliation for Tuesday’s union activity.
Union busting is disgusting, *especially* when it comes from our favorite local “progressive” businesses.
I stand with Alamo South workers against this illegal bullying from management and I hope you join me in boycotting the South Lamar location until further notice.
If you would like to join us in demanding that this employee be reinstated, please add your name to this petition: https://t.co/wG16e9xQtG

With #RTXAustin over, I was going to see a movie at Alamo @drafthouse on South Lamar last night.
Instead I came across a group of bad ass workers organizing for their rights and better wages! ✊
No way I'd EVER cross a picket line. Rock on @DrafthouseUnite!
#SolidarityForever
We are asking folks with plans to attend a movie at #AlamoDrafthouseSouthLamar to exchange their tickets for another date, as the venue will be even more understaffed than usual. We also ask you to be patient and kind to the staff that have opted to work today. 3/3
As before, we have received no real response from #AlamoDrafthouse other than back-channel rumors and vague promises disseminated from our Director of Operations. Therefore many members of #DrafthouseUnited have elected not to work today. 2/3
