Lend a hand to Jimmy Johns workers!
Submitted on Sat, 08/09/2014 - 10:42am
Today, workers at a Jimmy Johns franchise in Baltimore, Maryland are going public with their union - the IWW Jimmy Johns Workers Union! They will be conducting a job action today in order to win tip jars for in-shop workers. Lets give their action a little more oomph and show the bosses that we union members stick together! The store is open from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. (EST), so lets keep the phones ringing all day if you can call in multiple times. If you only have time to make one or two calls, focus your calls during the lunch rush (11-2) and right before the Orioles games (3-4 p.m.). A couple of ground rules: no threatening, try to avoid profanity, and most importantly call often!
Here are the numbers to call:
Pratt Street store: 410-685-3377
Mike Gillett (owner): 410-404-5684
Erik (Pratt st GM): 443-925-9153
And here is what you should say (feel free to add more though!)
I am calling to voice my support for the I.W.W. campaign currently underway at your Pratt Street store. I demand the immediate introduction of tip jars for inshoppers, no retaliation against any worker(s) for their union activity, and recognition of the I.W.W. Jimmy Johns Workers' Union. Failure to do so will invite further consequences.
