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

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.
