Sean and Andy chat with a worker organizer at one of the three Alamo Drathouse locations striking against seasonal firings. We cover how Barbenheimer weekend inspired the union effort, frustrating interactions with management, the weird subterranean Wall Street location, some ancient NYC organizing history, service sector organizing, and how a worker-run theater could make the nerdy-niche "experience" far better.
