In<br \/>\nresponse to this, all members of the Omaha SWU have voted unanimously to<br \/>\nsend out an appeal for solidarity to the broader IWW and labor movement.<br \/>\nPlease show Starbucks that an injury to one is an injury to all by taking<br \/>\nthe following actions:<\/p>\n<p>1. Call Partner Resources Representative Shari Rugi, (314)607-4180<\/p>\n<p>Shari Rugi is coordinating a campaign of intimidation and harassment<br \/>\nagainst union members at the 15th and Douglas Starbucks. This intimidation<br \/>\nhas included fabrication of sexual harassment allegations and<br \/>\ninterrogation of union members at the store over these accusations<br \/>\nconcocted by management. Furthermore, Shari Rugi as directed the store<br \/>\nmanager at 15th and Douglas, Missy Kemp, to tighten policy and increase<br \/>\ndisciplinary actions against workers, in particular against FW Tyler<br \/>\nSwain. Rugi has forced Store Manager Missy Kemp to write up FW Tyler Swain<br \/>\ntwice since going public for alleged violations of policy, contriving<br \/>\nallegations of insubordination, and illegally tightening the time and<br \/>\nattendance policy. weeks after these alleged violations have occurred.<br \/>\nUnion members at the 15th and Douglas location have, on multiple<br \/>\noccasions, overheard conversations taking place between the store manager,<br \/>\nMissy Kemp, and the partner resource manager, Shari Rugi, in which she has<br \/>\ninsisted FW Swain be written up for these alleged infractions, regardless<br \/>\nof the store managers opinion of the events.<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s time to let Shari Rugi know that we as an organization will not<br \/>\ntolerate the unfair and discriminatory treatment of public union members,<br \/>\nand that we, as a global organization are well aware of her actions.<\/p>\n<p>2. Call District Manager Jennifer Rojas, (402)319-2760<\/p>\n<p>The District Manager has repeatedly disrespected workers in her area.<br \/>\nBased upon this level of disrespect, the final demand in the letter<br \/>\npresented to management, including the 15th and Douglas store manager<br \/>\nMissy Kemp, district manager Jennifer Rojas, and Regional Director of<br \/>\nOperations Brett Battes, was a request that Jennifer Rojas resign from her<br \/>\nposition. A month after the delivery no mention of this demand has been<br \/>\nmade, despite targeted attempts to separate public union members from the<br \/>\ncompany. It&#8217;s time to let Jennifer Rojas know that her disrespect to<br \/>\nworkers in her area does not go unnoticed, and that she needs to be<br \/>\nworking for noticeable improvements in the working environment she<br \/>\noversees or resign immediately. Specific demands are: the immediate back<br \/>\npay of wages owed to FW Samantha Cole which were promised to her the<br \/>\nmorning of August 6th in a phone conversation that took place between<br \/>\nJennifer Rojas and Samantha Cole, an open and cooperative dialogue between<br \/>\nlevels of management and the Starbucks Workers Union, an open environment<br \/>\nfor members of the union to organize without fear of retaliation, and an<br \/>\nincreased effort to put into place the district wide 20 percent wage<br \/>\nincrease that the union is fighting for.<\/p>\n<p>3. Send Letters of Support to the 15th and Douglas Store<\/p>\n<p>We humbly request all union members to send letters directly to the 15th<br \/>\nand Douglas store (222 S. 15th St. Omaha Ne. 68102) addressed specifically<br \/>\nto The Barista&#8217;s of the Starbucks Workers Union, as well as a separate<br \/>\nletter, jointly addressed to both our Store Manager, Missy Kemp, and our<br \/>\nDistrict Manager, Jennifer Rojas. These letters should express support for<br \/>\nthe public campaign as well as public members in the store, as we fight<br \/>\nfor improved working conditions that include more reliable scheduling, a<br \/>\nsafer work environment and better compensation.<br \/>\nIt would also be appreciated if some attention would be given to our<br \/>\nrights to organize as workers, and an immediate stop to all intimidation<br \/>\nto public union members on the job.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for your support and solidarity.
