[CitizensTruth] Info on Chicago workers' situation [Fwd: FLASH! Radio Free Kansas Alert! FLASH!]

[Janice Matthews]

Just got this from the friendly neighborhood radical radio host in 
KANSAS!!!  (Yeah, really. Progressive radicals in Kansas. Can you 
believe it?!)
RIGHT ON to these workers! We need to get there and support them... wish 
I was close enough to bring sleeping bags/blankets/food... maybe someone 
can contact Food Not Bombs, yes? And can WCW-Chicago support?
This makes me really, really happy. Smells like resistance to me :)

Janice
in Kansas!

*Here's Some "Change" You Can Do Something About!*
** 
Angry workers who were denied pay and benefits by Bank of America (who 
received federal bailout funds) at a Chicago factory have seized it and 
refuse to leave.
 
Urgent pleas for blankets (the heat is being turned off as you receive 
this email), hot coffee and food are being issued.
 
Police are patrolling, but haven't made attempts to oust the workers.
 
Here are some contacts for helping them out.
