Resistance and Recovery - Republic Windows Workers Tour (UE)


Resistance and Recovery

The Republic Windows
Workers Tour: A Success!


UE Local 1110 members — the workers who occupied Chicago's Republic Windows and Doors Plant in December and won — have been visiting with, and were hosted by, labor and community groups from Michigan to Vermont between January 31 and February 16.

Their tour emphasized the need for an economic recovery that puts Main Street Before Wall Street.

To all of you who were able to make any of the events listed here or simply support working people — Thank-You!
