Landmark Theaters Employee Union

  Landmark has started its own very exclusive social networking site, so exclusive, that this dude doesn't even have any friends yet.

Dear Local 791 members,

We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for the outpouring of support and encouragement we have received since our termination on Wednesday morning February 28, 2007.

As the shock and amazement of everything that transpired that morning wears off, we are gathering our strength and conviction from the membership’s positive messages, phone calls and show of solidarity.
We are sure that the membership, as well as us, never thought that a “labor organization” would treat its own members (or staff employees) like this.
Apparently, the quote “an injustice to one, is an injustice to all” doesn’t apply to “all” of us.

We can’t help but wonder what the Union leadership’s reaction would be if the company had done this same thing to five members working in the stores or warehouses.
With the support and strength of the membership behind us, we are going to fight this injustice through all legal channels. We never quit on the membership in our positions as representatives of this local union and we are not going to quit in our fight to win our jobs back.

It has been a pleasure and a privilege to represent and serve the members of UFCW Local 791 and we look forward to representing you again in the very near future.

In Solidarity,
Bob Anderson, Lynette Chancholo, DJ Cronin, Mary McClay, Moose McClay

“ Our labor unions are not narrow, self-seeking groups. They have raised wages, shortened hours, and provided supplementary benefits. Through collective bargaining and grievance procedures, they have brought justice and democracy to the shop floor. But their work goes beyond our borders.

For the labor movement is people. Our unions have brought millions of men and women together…and given them common tools for common goals. Their goals are goals for all America-and their enemies are the enemies of progress. The two cannot be separated.”
