Tell Patina at Disney Springs: Justice for Julie
Delaware North - Patina Restaurant Group
Why did Patina fire Julie Ruiz?
Julie Ruiz spoke out about sexual harassment by her supervisor at Pizza Ponte. Even though she and her coworkers reported the sexual harassment by their supervisor, the supervisor was not fired. He continued to be their supervisor for six months. She became a public leader of her union and spoke out about her working conditions and sexual harassment experience.
Julie helped distribute a flyer with her photo and a quote explaining why she needs changes at her job.
One week later, Julie was suspended and then fired - for nothing more than wearing an earbud at work.

Julie Ruiz, your employee at Pizza Ponte at Disney Springs, spoke out about sexual harassment by her supervisor. Even though she and her coworkers reported the sexual harassment by their supervisor, the supervisor was not fired. He continued to be their supervisor for six months. She became a public leader of her union and spoke out about her working conditions and sexual harassment experience.
In October Julie helped distribute a flyer with her photo and a quote explaining why she needs changes at her job.
One week later, Julie was suspended and then fired - for nothing more than wearing an earbud at work.
As women, workers, and allies, we stand with Julie Ruiz!
When workers face sexual harassment at work, they deserve a pathway to justice and to have their voices heard.
Bring Julie back to work and agree to a fair process for workers to organize their union at your Disney Springs restaurants!
