Revolt on Goose Island: The Chicago Factory Takeover and What It Says about the Economic Crisis

By Kari Lydersen

It was an unexpected turn of events: Days after getting a £45 billion bailout from the US government, the Bank of America closed a line of credit for Chicago's Republic Windows and Doors factory. The factory owner shut down the business. Then something happened - the workers refused to leave the factory. This is the as-it-happened account of one of America's most inspiring stories from the frontline of the workers' struggle, as seen and documented by the award-winning Washington Post Journalist.
