After nearly two months on strike, workers at two Alamo Drafthouse Cinema locations have reached an agreement with management that cancels the layoffs of 70 employees and allows striking workers to return to work. 

The settlement between members of United Auto Workers Local 2179 and theater management, reached Friday, permits all 70 of the workers who were laid off to return to payrolls by May 1 and reinstates workers’ sick time, paid time off and seniority, the union said. The workers ratified the tentative agreement over the weekend, and they plan to return to the theaters April 18.
