Script:
Hi, I'm calling/emailing in support of Andrej, a union activist who's been victimised for standing up on the job. I'm demanding he get his job back and that Pret stop victimising all union activists. Until this happens, I won't be shopping at Pret and I'll be spreading word of this campaign to everyone I know.
I'm also concerned that I've heard of complaints of food safety violations in the York Way store. I hope this isn't true.
But feel free to be creative. Get a voicemail? Perhaps play Solidarity Forever a few times over or read out the first chapter of Das Kapital. In any case, call back and call often. And have fun.
