As solidarity builds: ‘Spirit of workers remains high’
Published Dec 10, 2008 4:11 PM
On the evening of Dec. 9, Bail Out the People Movement organizers Sharon Black
and Jill White gave the following eyewitness update to WW from the lobby of the
Republic Windows and Doors plant in Chicago:
“The spirit of the workers remains very high and strong as they continue
to provide round-the-clock security during their occupation of the plant. These
heroic workers have vowed to stay in the plant up until Christmas or beyond to
win the kind of justice they seek. Leah Fried, an UE organizer, told us that no
matter what the outcome of the negotiations between the leadership of UE Local
1110, Congressperson Luis Gutierrez, representatives of Bank of America and
Republic’s management, solidarity demonstrations around the country
should happen because of the broad political issue of demanding a bailout for
all the workers.”
