Hey folks,
Some really important stuff is happening in Chicago right now. I've drawn up a petition - it's pretty self explanatory:
http://www.petition online.com/ solidfac/ petition. html
To: Bank of America and Republic Windows and Doors management
As students and youth, we stand in solidarity with the Chicago workers at the Republic of Windows and Doors factory in their just struggle against closure, and for the right to their jobs and health care. The wealthy bankers at Bank of America got $25 billion in the bailout, but is refusing loans to the company. The management owes over 1 million dollars in severance and vacation pay. We know it is the big bankers and bosses who have laid off, cut benefits, and sold out the worker. Everyone should support the workers' occupation of the factory to demand workers' rights and justice.
We join in the chant with them:
Bank of America got Bailed Out! We got Sold Out!!!

I know its last minute, but it would be really great if we could have national endorsement for this action that's still going on. The workers have been sitting in since yesterday and this is the first time such a
militant and bold action has happened in many years.
A luta continua,
Doug
