It's Workers' Day in South Africa.
To celebrate, we got Alex his first gardening tool and put him to work.
But - like his Mom - he won't take directions.
Picturehouse workers from Brixton, Hackney, Crouch End and Central staged a demo in Central London as part of what has now become the biggest cinema workers campaign in UK history. With music and a procession to relevant Central London sites, the day ended with a rousing speech from MP John Mcdonnell, the Shadow Chancellor.
Following months of strike action, the workers have been left with little choice but to call for a Boycott of the entire Picturehouse chain as well as parent company Cineworld.
Giants of the UK film industry have supported the call to Boycott and put their names to a letter to Cineworld CEO Mooky Greindinger, asking him to return to the negotiation table and pay the London Living Wage. Sir Ian McKellen, Sir Patrick Stewart, Richard Curtis, Lindsay Duncan, Sir Mark Rylance are just a few of the stars backing the campaign for the Living Wage at Picturehouse cinemas.
