Chicago factory workers have the right idea. Our kids are paying that money to the banks .
"The bank had said in a statement that it wasn't responsible for Republic's financial obligations to its employees. "
CHICAGO (AP) — A sit-in by laid-off workers at a shuttered window factory in Chicago is becoming a cause celebre for those who want action to avert economic pain.
Politicians, community leaders and members of outside unions turned up Sunday at the Republic Windows and Doors company to support the 250 or so former workers occupying the plant.
Workers say they'll stay put until they're given severance and vacation pay.
Factory worker Melvin Maclin says the protesters expected to face arrest when they began the sit-in Friday. But he says spirits are high after all the backing they've received.
Supporters fill the lobby of the building, and workers take turns occupying the plant floor.
Ben was given no notice, called into a meeting and they let everyone in that meeting go. That was it.. have a nice Christmas , sorry we are having a hard time... how about "let's all take a paycut but keep everyone on..."
