Chicago workers' factory occupation

For those who haven't heard, a group of about 260 mostly Latino workers in Chicago occupied their factory (Republic Windows) last Friday, in one of the most inspiring actions in the US labor movement in quite a long time.

There has been excellent coverage in Fight Back Newspaper.
