The Atlanta Solidarity Network stepped it up today for what may very well be our last action against Belly General Store. With supporters phone blasting both the shop and the owner’s cell phone and members of ASOL outside flyering, E. received a call from her former boss saying “If I pay you now, will this end.” A clear indicator that ASOL communicated exactly what we intended to. E. has been paid what she was owed in back pay today. We’re very excited about our first win and terribly emboldened to take this project as far as we can. We are calling this a tentative win because E. is owed one final pay check for her last week of work which will be due this Friday. We hope Belly General Store doesn’t make the same mistake twice.
