The millionaire warmonger death penalty Democrat who was just selected to be president by the ruling class, Barack Obama, has given lip service support to the workers at Republic Windows, as the Democrats always do to win labor's vote, but has offered no money, as the Democrats always due to thwart all workingclass struggles. We have also heard that millionaire Democrat Jesse Jackson, showed his face and had his outfit deliver some groceries, also to thwart the struggle as the only solution is for the workers to run the factory themselves. The Democrats are the party that shuts down all struggle for the workingclass while claiming to represent it; in other words, we around the world smell another sellout. Do not let Barack Obama, Jesse Jackson and their rotten Democratic Party lead you to the path of having nothing. You are setting an excellent example to the whole country and it would be a shame to see a sell-out when we need to see more takeovers.

Um, first and foremost, Obama is not president. He's US President ELECT, and not president until he is inaugurated. BUSH is still President of this country, and need you be reminded that it was not Obama's 8-year reign of terror that has caused our country to be in this position in the first place, causing Americans to lose their jobs and big money hungry corporations to continue profiting. Second, Obama has been president-elect for a little over a month now. You are quite naive to think that all will be reversed and ratified overnight. If you're angry, get angry at the right people for the right reasons. The entire situation is messed up in this country, and it's more than difficult to tell what will come of it all, and what will prove to be effective. These workers did not lose their jobs due to Barrack Obama being President Elect for one month. They lost their jobs due to a culmination of the Bush administration's decisions and actions for the last two terms snowballing and effectively putting the economy in its current state. THEY should be held accountable, as well as the factory's owners, the banks, corporations, and deep pocket cronies at the center of this. Obama is not yet in office and fully able to begin acting on a plan of change and everyone already wants to tear him down.

We're behind you in Pa.

Blago is down. Next: Gutierrez and Jackson.

Stay strong!!!

If I was there I would get a case of long underwear and pass it out to the workers. That kind of solidarity is truly meaningful.

Hey "Hey", I can understand Gutierrez being next, but what the heck do you think you have on Jackson? Dude is squeaky clean.

All this corruption busting should be good for Chicago, the city with the ultimate culture of cynicism and corruption. From the highest office to the most low paid worker, your town is a sad case of disbelief and terrorized citizens. It is such a wonderful irony that Chicago "produced" Obama (Although not really, he is from a lot of places).

But then you always end up defending your criminals who hold offices. Why do you do that to yourselves? Why do you keep voting for these thieves and ghouls?

You cannot afford to wait for the Republic Window's management to pay what they owe you. Your rent or mortgages are due, utilities are due, you and your families have to eat. Restart the factory without the bosses. You know how to do your jobs better than anyone else. You know what you need to do, start the machines and make the money so that you can survive. They all got rich off of you, the management and Bank of America. They can never repay you. Take the first step towards real freedom and expropriate what is rightfully yours.

Exactly!

But have to say that I first pushed the worker-management solution during the early 1980s double slump and found that, while many workers agreed they could do it, union leaders were quite opposed.

Of course Union leaders are opposed, because if workers embraced self-determination there would be no Unions!

These workers could easily run this factory, they should go to BofA and take that severance pay and buy the facilities. They could become a worker owned company easily. Rename it and keep it going.

It is so bizarre the way there are still people who blame labor for the problems ("Kapitalista" is probably some slave ass office drone who has never owned a business).

On average labor is 10% of the DB (Cost of Doing Business), and it is middle management that is the bulk of costs. Even though middle management is becoming less and less necessary due to communications technology, those expenditures are always justified and guess where they go, straight up the ladder. The costs are not removed from the process, they go up the ladder, then labor gets blamed for it. The workers get scapegoated by retarded people who cannot think and who do not understand numbers.

There is no question, speaking as a lifelong blue-collar guy from a Union family that Unions are corrupt and a pain in the ass, and that the Union leadership are a bunch of thugs and leeches. But that is not the fault of workers who are responsible for such a small part of the cost of doing business.

There is also no question that there are going to be some serious adjustments across the spectrum when it comes to organizing business and labor, respectively, so it is really great to see the way these folks are demanding that THEIR CONTRACTS BE HONORED honestly and without taking any bullshit from some jackasses.

Kapitalistas love to pretend they are some kind of honest people who just "let the market speak", but in reality most of them are fraudsters because they REFUSE TO RESPECT LEGAL CONTRACTS, and since their republican friends have RE-REGULATED fraud out of business, they are able to get away with thievery, and have an incredible lack of patriotic concern for their own local or National economies.

This makes them as dangerous and sociopathic as the worst Union thugs and leeches.

Finally, and remember this.. If there is any selling out that is going to happen it is not going to be the workers, it will be their Union leaders, who, no matter what, will have a job when this is over, by the way.
