Cinema workers in London and Brighton staged a 24-hour strike on Saturday, as a dispute over pay and conditions entered its second year.

Staff across five branches of Picturehouse are calling for the London living wage — currently calculated at £9.75 an hour — plus pay rises for senior staff, sick pay and parental leave.

The strike, backed by entertainment union Bectu, is also demanding the reinstatement of several union representatives who were sacked after industrial action this year.
