'The GFT recognise the benefits that an engaged staff, with a collective voice, will bring as we continue to navigate challenging and uncertain times.'
ONE of Glasgow's most iconic cinemas has signed a landmark deal with union bosses to give workers a greater say in any future negotiations over pay and conditions.Theatre, which is recognised as one of the city's most cherished and culturally important institutions, has become the first picture house in Scotland to sign a voluntary recognition agreement with Unite Hospitality, who will now represent the venue's hospitality staff.
It also builds on the GFT’s existing progressive employment practices which include a longstanding commitment to paying employees the real Living Wage, as well as promising them minimum hours and harmonised sick pay.The Cosmo - which became the GFT in 1974 – opened in 1939 as Scotland’s first independent arthouse cinema and has become one of Glasgow's most treasured institutions.
Allison Gardner, Glasgow Film chief executive, said:"We are delighted to have finalised this agreement with Unite on behalf of our staff. The GFT recognise the benefits that an engaged staff, with a collective voice, will bring as we continue to navigate challenging and uncertain times." In 1953, the Queen’s Coronation was broadcast live and exclusively at the Cosmo, a first for a Glasgow picture house, while more recently the GFT was the first cinema into have screenings with adjustments suited to people with autism and neurodiversity, receiving the National Autistic Society’s Autism Friendly Award in 2017.
