Comments on: Illinois Workers Continue Sit-In Protest

Gov. Orders State To Stop Doing Business With Bank Whose Withdrawal Of Credit Led To Plant Closing

[credibility2]

These laid off workers are criminally trespassing and many may be undocumented illegals. Guiterrez and Jackson haven''t any right interjecting themselves in this and Bank of America owes these laid off workers nothing. The bailout is reality and with it came the right for banks to reduce or eliminate lines of credits, which is what happened to this company. Any business that has to take out a loan in order to meet payroll is a failing company to begin with, which is also what this company is. The majority of the business came from new homes being built and with the downfall of this industry sector, this company was keeping its doors open on borrowed time. Why the union never looked into the potential impact on new housing starts impacting their members employment at this company many months ago and not just now in the eleventh hour, is puzzling and shows abject ignorance on the part of the union and its membership. The sixty-day federal ruling has legal remedies in certain situations, which is why this business didn''t have to notify its workers with any more notice than they did; more than likely the bank only recently notified the company that their loan request was being denied. The business needs to order these workers off the premises immediately; there''s no telling what they might do as revenge. ICE should also look into the documentation status of many of these workers.

Bank Of America is simply AMAZING. They will charge you an over draft fee of 34 dollars in a heart beat when you over draw your account by .22 cents.

But when it comes to putting money out they are super tight wads. I hate Bank of America !

Yes, a notification is deserved with 200 or more employees. Did they have 200 employees? How many people are illegal in this plant? How much was this woman being paid, that could afford $1800 a month in house payments. If they are illegal, then they do not deserve anything; need to research the legals, first.

I''m glad they have you reading the newspaper in the 6th grade. No Child Left Behind might be working after all.

I dont understand, Bank of America gets 25 billion for bail out witch the president of Bank of America said on 60 minutes that they did not want the money but the government forced them to accept the bail out.Now the bank gets to keep all the assets and the workers get s*##t

[libertycalls-2009]

Wow, lot''s of class warfare here. When was the last time any of you RISKED your own capital to start a business. To make a payroll? To manage ANYTHING? Whining about corporations, whining about big and small businesses ripping you off. Look in the mirror and tell us you always put in a full day of work. Or even did so 50 percent of the time. Only you really know the truth. Don''t look at what you think others do or don''t do. What do you do? And then when the businesses close or move to a better business climate, you cry to BIG Mama Government - pathetic is what the American worker is becoming. And any business that begs for public money is equally pathetic. America is SUCKING. We are better than all this. Shut the f up, stop ******** and get on with life!

Boosh''s plan failed miserably. Only 4000 of us died in Iraq. Not nearly enough to eliminate the unemployed in the US.

Yea, I get the LAW, but where do you think this money is going to come from? I, Joe Taxpayer, dont want to pay a severance via a government bailout of the Door and Window industry.

If the company is out of money, they are out of money. It''s pretty simple, no more money for anyone.

They did their part.

Now it''''s up to the factory owners to obey the LAW.

Get it?

The LAW.

I get a charge out of lady_organs she is either a hack or a dumber than dirt person.

Either way she is funny I wonder if she believes the nonsenses the Republicans are feeding her.

So any way.

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.

It sounds to me that if the company is going under and shutting down factories, then the workers didn''''''''t make it _all_ that successful.

The employees did what they were hired to do. It was the highly educated executives who were suppposedly managing the company that didn''t make it sucessful.
