Phone Blast Action To Support Jimmy John's Workers!
Submitted on Sun, 08/31/2014 - 1:52pm
On Labor Day - Monday, Sept. 1st - workers at a Jimmy Johns franchise in Baltimore, Maryland are taking action with their union - the IWW Jimmy Johns Workers Union! They will be flyering outside of their store today in order to press for their demands. Lets give their action a little more oomph and show the bosses that we union members stick together! We will be in front of the store from noon (12:00) EST until 2:00 EST, lets keep the phones ringing! A couple of ground rules: no threatening, try to avoid profanity, and most importantly call often!
Here are the numbers to call:
Mike Gillett (franchise owner): 410-404-5684
Daniel Dolch (franchise owner): 443-797-2472
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 that there be one paid sick day per month for all workers in the store, no retaliation against any worker(s) for their union activity, and recognition of the I.W.W. Jimmy Johns Workers' Union. Jimmy Johns also needs to comply with the recent NLRB ruling which stated that Jimmy Johns in Minneapolis illegally fired six workers and stated that Jimmy Johns must reinstate the fired workers. Failure to do so will invite further consequences.
