Bail-Out Now   
Knoxville, TN 

Friday December 12, 2008 at Bank of America

Only weeks after taking $25 Billion in bailout money, Bank of America is turning its back on hundreds of workers making energy efficient doors and windows in Chicago by refusing to continue credit to Republic Windows and Doors.  To make matters even worse than putting 300 people out of work, Bank of America has instructed Republic to refuse to pay workers compensation they are legally entitled to, either earned vacation pay or the severance pay legally required under the WARN Act, in lieu of proper notice of plant closing.

We need a People’s Bailout, Now!!

This economic crisis is an emergency, and must be treated as such.  We need:

·         An emergency stimulus package large enough to meet the crisis

·           An immediate moratorium on foreclosures

·           Restoration of fairness and a voice at work with the Employee Free Choice Act

·         Emergency action so people losing jobs don't lose health care
