123. Picturehouse Living Wage Campaign

This week, we talk to Will and Maryam from the Picturehouse Living Wage Campaign about their fight to win decent pay and working benefits from the Scrooge-like cinema chain. We discuss how they got organised with their union BECTU, what it's like striking in an era of historically low union activity and job precarity, why it's necessary to fight for your rights, and what you can do to consider following their example in your own rubbish exploitative workplace. We also find time to encourage Rebel Wilson to lie to journalists and we sympathise with the director of The Mummy, Alex Kurtzman, having to explain to the media why everyone hates his awful film.Will and Maryam are part of the Picturehouse Central campaign. Follow them on Twitter @CPHLivingWage, and their fellow campaigns at: the Ritzy (@RitzyLivingWage), Hackney (@HPHLivingWage), Crouch End (@CEPHlivingwage), East Dulwich (@EDPHLivingWage), and Brighton (@UnioniseDukes)!
