Serious Energy Workers Occupy Goose Island Factory

Serious Energy Workers Occupy Goose Island Factory
"Members of the United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers of America who work at a Chicago factory are occupying their workplace after the company that runs the factory, Serious Energy, informed them that the factory would be closed and all workers would be laid off. The Goose Island plant is notable as the same location where a previous occupation took place when the former owners, Republic Windows & Doors, was the target of a successful and highly publicized labor action in 2008."
