Workers from Republic Windows and Doors, members of United Electrical Workers Local 1110, are on tour to share lessons and inspiration from their courageous factory occupation in Chicago. Many of you remember their sit-down strike, which attracted international attention and bested Bank of America.

Now is your chance to learn more about their organizing, their experiences, and their next steps. The tour is sponsored by the United Electrical Workers and Jobs with Justice.

Labor Notes is proudly co-sponsoring the tour's New York activities.
