Current rabble poll
What film would you show Cineplex execs to convince them their low-wage workers deserve a raise?
Cineplex Odeon has hiked ticket prices across the country, despite pulling in over $700 million in revenue already this year. Then it had the gall to blame the hike on the modest and still-insufficient increases to the minimum wage. Cineplex, which enjoys a near-monopoly over theatre-goers, managed to convince the CBC to reprint its corporate talking points almost verbatim. But rabble blogger Nora Loreto caught Cineplex's spin cold.
In the spirit of Thanksgiving, we at rabble decided to treat this as a teachable moment. And what better way to teach Cineplex execs and spin doctors how the economy actually works than through the silver screen?
So: What film would you show Cineplex CEO Ellis Jacob (Annual compensation: $5.3 million) to convince him his low-wage workers deserve a raise?
