Victory at Republic Windows & Doors!  Workers Vote to Get Pay; Occupation Ends!

After 6 days occupying the plant, workers at Republic Window and Doors in Chicago voted to accept a settlement late on October 10th. 

The settlement totals $1.75million. It will provide the workers with:

• Eight weeks of pay they are owed under the federal WARN Act;
• Two months of continued health coverage, and;
• Pay for all accrued and unused vacation.

JPMorgan Chase will provide $400,000 of the settlement, with the balance coming from Bank of America.  Although the money will be provided as a loan to Republic Windows and Doors, it will go directly into a third-party fund whose sole purpose is to pay the workers what is owed them.

As the Local 1110 leaders characterized the settlement, "We fought to make them pay what they owe us, and we won." 

This is truly an historic victory for workers in the United States.

But the fight's not over yet!  You can still take action to support a People's Bailout!
