Ep 1: Cinemas and Music Halls

Labour Days: a labour movement podcast

In our first episode Edd, Daniel, and Ellie discuss their hopes for what the podcast might achieve. We talk to Kelly Rogers, union rep at the Ritzy, about the growing Picturehouse Cinema workers' strike. Edd takes us through the story of London's great Music Hall Strike of 1907. The Picturehouse workers have a number of pages you can follow to support their dispute and donate to their strike fund: Brixton: https://www.facebook.com/RitzyLivingWage/ Hackney: https://www.facebook.com/HackneyLivingWage/ Crouch End: https://www.facebook.com/CrouchEndLivingWage/ East Dulwich: https://www.facebook.com/edphlivingwage/ Picturehouse Central: https://www.facebook.com/CentralLivingWage/ Intro music and audio motif taken from 'Labor' by Aesop Rock.
