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.

For those of you who said these people had no chance of getting
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.
