REPUBLIC WINDOWS & DOORS VICTORY TOUR!
In December, 260 workers at Chicago 's Republic Windows occupied their plant for six days, a sit-in strike launched in response to the closing of their plant with only 3 days notice. Jobs with Justice coalitions along with other community, faith and labor activists from across the country mobilized in support of these workers, helping them win a settlement from Bank of America and Republic owners including severance pay and compensation for unpaid earnings.
As the economic crisis deepens, millions of people face jobs loss and foreclosures. Join Jobs with Justice and other groups in celebrating the successful resistance at Republic and launch the broader campaign for an economic recovery that puts Main Street before Wall Street.
After 6 days occupying the plant, workers at Republic Window and Doors in Chicago voted to accept a settlement late on December 10th.
