Members of UE’s North Carolina Local 150 will protest Monday at the Charlotte national headquarters of Bank of America, in support of UE members in Chicago who are occupying their factory, Republic Windows and Doors. National news media have been reporting over the weekend on the ongoing factory sit-in by the Chicago union members. The workers are members of UE Local 1110. The plant suddenly shut down on Friday, December 5 with only three days notice to the union and workers, and without paying workers money they are owed.
Local 150 members, community supporters, and students will take part in the picket and rally at 12:30 p.m. Monday, December 8, in front of Bank of America at the corner of Trade Street and Tryon Street in Charlotte.
