Lets see if the union now gets what they were promised in the Blago tapes  
from the Obama camp. Lets also
see if Blago or his wife still get the union position that was supposed to  
be their part in this. Obviously the promised pressure was applied to bank of 
 
america to settle up. Chicago politics as usual. At least the workers do get  
something out of the deal, I am happy for that.

anything, and who care about your credibility, you might consider a   
bit more thoughtfulness in the future:

CHICAGO - With cheers and  chants that echoed President-elect Barack  
Obama's campaign of  change, jubilant workers agreed to a $1.75 million  
settlement that  ends their six-day occupation of a shuttered Chicago  
factory that  became a symbol of the plight of labor nationwide.

Republic Windows  & Doors, union leaders and Bank of America reached  
the deal  Wednesday evening. Each former Republic employee will get  
eight  weeks' salary, all accrued vacation pay and two months' paid  
health  care, said U.S. Rep. Luis Gutierrez, who helped broker the  
deal. He  said it works out to about $7,000  apiece.
