Apparently, President-elect Obama was the glue holding the city of Chicago together. As soon as he left, the works went on strike, the Governor gets federally indited and the Tribune goes broke.
Looks like, Bank of America cut off credit to a door factory, forcing the factory to closes it’s doors without any notice to it’s workers. That turns out to be more then just immoral, it’s illegal. Factories are required to give workers a 60 day notice of closure.
Got to love big companies screwing over smaller companies so they have to screw over their workers.
Now, half of the city of Chicago is protesting with the works including the Governor of Illinois, Rod R. Blagojevich.
Woops… that might not be the person you want advocating for you since he’s trying to sell Obama’s soon to be vacant Senate seat! In fact, he was arrested and federally indited today along with his cheif of staff. Atleast he will be getting a lot of press coverage, that should help him spread the word about the plight of Chicago workers.
And to top it off, Tribune Co. files for bankrupcy. Here is the story from Tribune Co.’s newspaper, the Chicago Tribune.
