Staff working for the Cineworld cinema chain have launched an online petition urging their bosses to make face coverings mandatory for customers once venues reopen.
The group points to an interview that Cineworld CEO Mooky Greidinger gave to the Hollywood Reporter indictating that while staff would have daily temperature checks and be required to wear face coverings, customers would not.
The Guardian has contacted both Cineworld and the Cineworld Action Group for comment.
In the petition, the Cineworld Action Group – representing employees of the company – criticises management for a lack of clarity ahead of scheduled reopening on 10 July.
