The world’s busiest cinema might not be so from this Saturday afternoon. After two days of strike on December 20th and March 1st, the employees of the UGC of the Forum des Halles (1st arrondissement) announced, in a statement from the CGT Spectacle, SNEC CGT and UD CGT de Paris, their intention to start a renewable strike.
According to the text, the employees denounce “low salaries, insufficient and ill-adapted staff to needs, lack of recognition of availability despite verbal and physical assaults from some customers, late-night and weekend work, lack of flexibility to organize holidays during school vacations.”
They are demanding “negotiations to obtain an increase in the fixed salary of at least 5%, availability bonus, monthly effort bonus, seniority increase, as well as sufficient staffing.” The extent of the movement and its impact on cinema screenings are not known at the moment.
