POPSVictory for the Workers at Republic Windows & Doors! The laid-off workers at Republic Windows and Doors were on the correct side of an issue and they have now emerged victorious. They are calling off their sit-in strike because Bank of America and JP Morgan Chase have agreed to loan the company the money needed to pay the workers for accrued vacation leave and severance pay, which they are entitled to by law. This action will be remembered fondly in the annals of labor history and could set a precedent for bold labor action in the years ahead.

They are sold to the public as ways to help the uninsured and under-insured, but they are really devised to provide a tax shelter for relatively wealthy people. It's a way that politicians use the needs of the poor and middle class uninsured to benefit higher income people. This study proves it.
