Move to keep staff on despite company mothballing cinemas means staff cannot claim redundancy
Cineworld staff on zero-hours contracts say they have been wrong-footed by the cinema chain’s decision to keep them on, even though the closure of its cinemas means they have no shifts.
“People want the option to take redundancy but that doesn’t seem to be what the company wants to do,” one contractor told the Guardian. “It feels like they’re holding us hostage.”
