Republic Windows and Doors went out of business, giving their employees only 3 days notice instead of the federally required 60 days. Then it came out that Bank of America, the great socialist institution known recently for getting a piece of the cushy federal bailout, told the company that they wouldn't extend their credit so they could pay the workers the 60 days of wages plus back vacation and sick pay that was owed to them.
So the workers took over the factory and refused to leave until they got their pay. Yay! Workers of the world unite!
But now the state of Illinois is refusing to do business with Bank of America until the extend the credit and pay the workers. From Il governor:
On the one hand, powerful special interest get the money to bail them out, the banks, and yet the purpose of that money was supposed to be to provide a line of credit to businesses like this to keep workers working and keep people employed, and yet the Bank of America has yet to step up and say they're going to be helpful to this company
Hey BofA- you fuckers! Please eat shit and die. And to the Republic workers, I am right there with ya.
