Workers at Shattuck Cinemas in Berkeley and all Landmark Cinema employees nationwide will reportedly receive a pay increase. Landmark attorney Tom Pavone sent a letter announcing the pay raises to the IWW along with spread sheet data showing the increase for each worker. At Shattuck Cinemas in Berkeley, the starting wage will go from $7.25 to $8 per hour, if the workers choose to accept the offer.

The IWW-Shattuck union considers this to be "a clear demonstration of union power," and says that it "will continue to press the company for gains in benefits and improvments in working conditions." The IWW shop at Shattuck Cinemas, along with union workers at Kendall Square cinema in Cambridge, Mass., are the first two Landmark Cinemas to have gone union, out of approximately 60 total. The IWW-Shattuck union will hold a rally in front of the Shattuck Cinema on September 1st at 6:30pm. Read more
