\n\tAnother Alamo Drafthouse theater is poised to go union.<\/p>\n

\n\tOn Friday, a majority of eligible employees at the Sony-owned theater chain\u2019s Slaughter Lane location in Austin, Texas voted to affiliate with the United Auto Workers in a National Labor Relations Board election, according to union organizers. Workers voted 52-16 to join the UAW, with 94 percent of those eligible participating in the election. The results are still pending certification from the NLRB, which would make the union official.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThis is the result of four months of hard work and outreach by organizers,\u201d the group of organizers, which calls itself SlaughterHouse United, stated on Friday. \u201cWe look forward to the result being officially certified by the NLRB post-haste and to begin bargaining with Alamo in good faith to secure a fair contract for our workplace.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIn a statement, an Alamo Drafthouse spokesperson said, \u201cWe respect Alamo Drafthouse Slaughter Lane theater\u2019s right to organize, and we are committed to bargaining in good faith.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAccording to organizers, 73 hourly employees, such as concierge staff, line cooks, bartenders, guest attendants and hourly supervisors, will be included in the union.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe group went public with its unionization efforts in March after company-wide layoffs impacted the Austin location. Organizers called the job cuts the \u201clast straw\u201d amid alleged \u201cstagnant\u201d wages and a lack of \u201cmeaningful improvements to the day-to-day workplace.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Slaughter Lane location wasn\u2019t the only theater to take action over broad job cuts at the chain. Unionized New York and Colorado locations went on two separate strikes in February in response to the terminations, with the Colorado work stoppage lasting only a few days, while Alamo\u2019s downtown Brooklyn and lower Manhattan locations picketed for 58 days.<\/p>\n

\n\tIf the results are certified, the Slaughter Lane union and management will next work towards negotiating their first labor contract. <\/p>\n

\n\tIn their statement on Friday, the organizers called on all Alamo Drafthouse theaters to unionize to \u201ctake advantage of Alamo\u2019s shifting strategy on labor.\u201d The group claimed that \u201cit is app<\/a>arent to us that CEO Michael Kusterman and VP of Operations Kelley Bondelie are moving the company closer to a position of labor neutrality.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tOn Saturday, another Austin-based Alamo Drafthouse, the flagship South Lamar location, some of whose employees have been attempting to unionize for years, appeared to answer the call for more labor activity. Employees staged a one-day \u201csickout\u201d and asked patrons to swap their tickets for a different day or ask for refunds.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
