Flying Picket at Oaks Theater, Friday evening, 2/25
There will be a community solidarity picket in front of Oaks Theater in Berkeley on Friday evening, February 25 to oppose the brutal practices of the Metropolitan Theater Corp., which recently took-over the Oaks Theater in Berkeley.
In the spirit of the flying pickets held in support of the locked-out hotel workers in San Francisco late last year, on the evening of Friday, February 25, there will be a community "flying picket" at the Oaks Theater on Solano Avenue in Berkeley.
We will be showing support for the two long-time projectionists who were told that they had to quit the union and take a big wage-cut when Metropolitan Theater Corp. took over Oaks Theater last Friday, February 18th.
A picket was in effect for most of this three-day weekend and will continue throughout the week.
The community flying picket strives to break-down and dissolve the separations between workers in different sectors and industries which keep us weak. The flying picket says to employers everywhere: If you attack one of us, WE will counter-attack!
Stay tuned for exact meeting time (based upon the Friday evening's movie schedule; we intend to meet about 45 minutes before the first evening showing). Bring noise-makers, placards, musical instruments, and prepare to have fun!
Oaks Theater is located on Solano Avenue between The Alameda and Colusa in North Berkeley and is easily accessible by AC Transit from Downtown B-Town (the 43 and the 15).
