Alamo Drafthouse workers strike after layoffs at Denver movie theater
Unionized workers at Alamo Drafthouse’s Sloan’s Lake location went on strike Friday, blaming a round of surprise layoffs impacting movie theaters in the Denver area and across the country.
Josh Reitze — a theater employee and steward for Communication Workers of America Local 7777, which represents workers — said the company’s decision to cut 11 jobs at the Denver theater earlier this month violated labor law and turned persistent understaffing into a crisis.
“Everyone’s feeling the pressure,” Reitze said. “This came out of nowhere, and it really hurt the bargaining process. It deeply disappointed the staff, as well. We’re friends, and roommates, and we’re all affected by this.”
Phone calls to the theater went unanswered and its website indicated no available showtimes Saturday. The company did not immediately respond to an emailed request for comment on the strike.
Reitze said the chain hasn’t explained why the layoffs were financially necessary, and the suddenness of the decision undermined trust between Local 7777 and the company. A statement sponsored by CWA also said Alamo Drafthouse refused to consider reducing employees’ hours as an alternative to layoffs.
Employees of two Alamo Drafthouse theaters in New York voted to join Sloan’s Lake workers in their walkout Friday, according to The Hollywood Reporter, meaning all three unionized theaters out of the company’s 42 U.S. locations are currently on strike.
Alamo Drafthouse also operates theaters in Littleton and Westminster, which Reitze said have experienced layoffs and whose workers are also in the process of unionizing but are not currently participating in the strike.
Editor’s note: Union members in The Denver Post newsroom belong to a separate unit of the Communication Workers of America.

House fire in Denver fully engulfs power pole, detached garage mostly destroyed
DENVER (KKTV) – Colorado firefighters prevented a fire from spreading to a home in Denver late Monday afternoon after it fully engulfed a power pole and destroyed most of a detached garage.
Adams County Fire Rescue said crews responded to a house fire in the 8300 block of Nueva Vista Drive, near Coronado Hills Elementary School, around 5 p.m.
Firefighters said when crews arrived, they saw heavy smoke from behind the home in a detached garage, as well as a fully engulfed power pole.
The incident was soon upgraded to a second-alarm fire, firefighters said.
The fire destroyed most of the detached garage, part of a shed as well as nearby fences and vehicles, firefighters said. The fire did not spread to the actual home.
The residents of the home had evacuated the area when firefighters arrived, and crews helped evacuate the four surrounding homes, firefighters said.
Firefighters said Xcel Energy crews were called to shut off the power lines in the area.
Firefighters said there were no injuries.
The cause of the fire is under investigation as of Tuesday morning.
