Workers at a city centre cinema have started a further four weeks of strike action.
Staff at VUE Entertainment’s St Enoch’s centre in Glasgow are walking out in a dispute over pay and conditions, marking the first industrial action of its kind at a major Scottish cinema chain.
Workers have already taken strike action for over four weeks during the festive period.
However, they are now carrying out an additional four weeks of daily strikes from Thursday, January 8 until Friday, February 6.
Staff were pictured today outside St Enoch Centre holding a sign stating: "Victory to the Vue cinema workers."

The strike is being led by Unite hospitality members, who are calling for the real living wage for workers aged 18 and over, formal union recognition, and safe, subsidised transport for late-night staff.
Sharon Graham, general secretary of Unite, said: "VUE is a very profitable company and it can easily bring this dispute to an end by agreeing to pay workers fairly.
"Unite is totally supporting this group of young, low-paid and precarious workers in their next phase of strikes as they step up the campaign for better jobs, pay and conditions."
Yana Petticrew, organiser for the Glasgow branch of Unite Hospitality, added: "Our members are generating massive profits for VUE.
"While management is only paying the basic legal minimums.
"The workers are demonstrating real bravery as they continue to fight for a wage worth living on and a voice in the workplace through their union."
