What is the status of the company?? Is it in bankruptcy?? Did the owners form another company outside of Illinois merge with Republican Windows? If the workers are laid off what are the rehire rules?? Also, are the funds for the workers or for the company?? How many workers have been laid off and how many are still unemployed? I am sorry to have missed the Tuesday's meetings but I am in class.? Give us an update, since this is really a union?issue and not necessarily an immigrant?or undocumented workers?situation. gracias rgonzales

However, a fund to try and re-open the plant -- called the Windows of Opportunity Fund -- would be started with donations received during the sit-in, they said." We can all help Republic's workers even further. Let's come up with a plan to help the Windows of Opportunity Fund! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Internet group address: http://groups.google.com/group/ChicagoMayDay To send e-mail: [email protected] To unsuscribe: [email protected] -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
