Solidarity

Republic Windows closed its factory doors abruptly and threw out the workers without paying them the money they had already earned, or giving them appropriate notice. The workers have protested by taking over the factory and occupying it "until they get what is owed" to them. Bank of America cancelled the company's line of credit (even though Bank of America got tax payer bail-out money!) so the company threw out its employees.

This is so emblematic of what America has become. Unfortunately.
Perhaps there is a lesson to be learned here about solidarity...
