Sit-down solidarity continues as UE workers in Chicago hold their factory while negotiating with Bank of America and Republic Windows & Doors. At a rally at Bank of America Jorge Mujica of the March 10th Committee urged workers everywhere to follow the heroic example set by the UE sitdowners.

: “If you are told you're going to be laid off, your factory's going to close down, take it over! Do a sit-in, exactly the same thing that Republic is doing."

The Chicago sit-downers are resolute as they maintain ther occupation of the factory. They are owed money from their employer and the workers are insisting Bank of America free up credit so Republic can pay them.
