Give Them What They Are Owed

I don't particularly care whether the company or Bank of America is responsible for the workers at Republic Windows & Doors not receiving the money owed them. If they are owed the money, then they must be paid.

What impresses me about these members of the United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers union is the peaceful sit in. These types of demonstrations don't seem to happen often enough anymore. It takes guts to stage one. The right tends to view these things with disdain, and many of the left either view them cynically or they consider it outdated tactic. I think this will be effective. Even the President-Elect is behind their cause.

What this country needs is more men and women who are willing to fight for what they owed, for what they are promised, for the union movement.
