TODAY! 5 PM, TELL WHOLE FOODS: REINSTATE RYAN!

[Geoff Carens]

On October 19, sixteen workers at the Jamaica Plain Whole Foods petitioned management for $1/hr raise in response to crushing workloads, and for improvements to working conditions that were making some of them sick. Four days later, Whole Foods unlawfully suspended Ryan, a cook at the JP store, without pay. Ryan was the first to sign the petition. Yesterday (10/30), Whole Foods terminated Ryan on flimsy pretexts!

Please join Ryan's supporters this evening, starting at 5 pm, at a picket of the JP Whole Foods, 413 Centre Street (Jackson Square or Stonybrook T on the Orange Line). Help us tell Whole Foods our community won't tolerate retaliation against employees who take group action to improve their working conditions!

Please forward this message as widely as possible. This picket is sponsored by the Student Labor Action Movement (SLAM).
