There’s more movement on the labor front as employees of the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema Downtown Brooklyn location have filed with the National Labor Relations Board to unionize.
They’re seeking affiliation with the United Autoworkers. UAW Local 2179 is the petitioner on behalf of all full-time and regular part-time employees at the popular Brooklyn cinema.

“After years of appeals to management for better support from corporate – for example new or replacement equipment, pay raises, and adequate staffing – the workers are tired of being told that there isn’t room in Alamo’s budget for its most profitable venue.”
The bargaining unit consists of more than 190 employees including wait staff, line cooks, bartenders, box office, custodians and dishwashers. The chain is known for its in-seat dining.
The July opening of juggernauts Barbie and Oppenheimer with the big crowds and numerous meals that entailed was a tipping point in garnering support, said Jordan Baruch, a concierge at the Brooklyn theater.

Baruch said major issues are insufficient staffing given the work load, and how the theater assigns and manages shifts.
Alamo Drafthouse declined to comment.
While it may seem odd for theater employees to seek affiliation with the UAW, Will Bobrowski, second vice president of Local 2179, told Deadline the union and his local represent seven AMC theaters in New
