Kevin,

*Workers Occupy Factory! Need Your Immediate Support!*

Yesterday, Friday December 5th, the workers of Republic Windows and 
Doors occupied their factory, which was due to close at 10:00 AM. The 
workers are fighting for pay for their lost vacation days and for the 75 
days notice that they are guaranteed under Illinois law. This is the 
first time in many years workers have taken the bold, militant strategy 
of occupying their place of work to demand justice. The plan to occupy 
the plant until the hear the results of the next round of negotiations 
Monday afternoon. THEY NEED TO KNOW THEY HAVE OUR SUPPORT!

A prayer vigil has been planned for 12:00 Noon, Saturday December 6th. 
Please attend. BUT WE SHOULD ORGANIZE A CONSTANT PRESENCE OF COMMUNITY 
MEMBERS PICKETING OUTSIDE THE FACTORY! BRING FOOD AND COFFEE FOR THE 
WORKERS. It is our presence and the press that is the workers best 
defense against the police raiding the factory.

These workers are fighting for all of us!!! As the economic crisis 
deepens we need to launch a working class fight back. These workers are 
the starting point and deserve our full support.

Go to:

Republic Windows & Doors
1333 N. Hickory

On Goose Island, near the intersection of Division & Clybourn

Feel free to call me for more info? (312) 502-7867
