Production crew and cinema staff still fear losing their jobs and income despite UK government plans to address loss of income and jobs after the coronavirus pandemic brought the film industry virtually to a standstill.
In a statement, Cineworld said: “The government package was a real game changer and we wait for clarification regarding the details.
We hope that Cineworld will apologise to all staff for the way we were treated and that they will top up the remaining 20% of our wages.”
However, Bectu have praised Disney for its decision to furlough employees until May, which it announced on Tuesday after telling crew on 20 March their contracts would be terminated.
