from Jobs with Justice, verbatim:

The Somerville Theatre projectionists and their union are currently in negotiations with the owner. Please note that all pickets, leafletting, and actions have been called off until further notice. We look forward to a just settlement for the workers. Apologies for any inconvenience. For more information, please contact the projectionists at Pissed_Off_Projectionists@yahoo.com.

Apologies for any inconvenience
I've been noticing the four 4'x8' panels of plywood in the windows of the Somerville Theatre. Are they doing renovations, or did some of the Pissed_Off_Projectionists throw bricks?

No idea what those are about.

The ticket booth windows were smashed a while back and covered with plywood for a while, so I'd guess that it was a similar occurrence, yes.

I'm wondering if the theater owner will be deducting the cost of replacement windows from the projectionists' wages...

Let's certainly hope so.
