Alamo Drafthouse laid off about 70 unionized workers in NYC, likely due to pandemic impacts.

Alamo Drafthouse Cinema has laid off around 70 unionized workers in New York City, affecting both part-time and full-time employees. The layoffs, which occurred at Manhattan and Brooklyn locations, were delayed to engage with recently unionized workers but still led to an unfair labor practice charge filed by the union. The theater chain, owned by Sony Pictures Entertainment, has not provided specific reasons for the layoffs, but the ongoing pandemic and its financial impacts on the film industry are likely factors.
