Summary
Workers and union organizers hold a rally outside the Republic Windows and Doors factory, Chicago, Illinois, 06 December, 2008.

The factory was closed and the workers were laid off without sufficient notice. About 200 of the former employees began the sit-in December 5, 2008 demanding severance and vacation pay, which they are owed.

Some of the signs they are holding say:
 * "You got bailed out /We got sold out"
 * "$Billion$/for/Bank of America/$0 for workers"
 * "Respect/Federal?WARN Act/Law"
