CHICAGO: The scene inside a long, low-slung factory here at the weekend offered a glimpse of how the nation's loss of more than 600,000 manufacturing jobs in a year of recession is boiling over.
Workers laid off on Friday from Republic Windows and Doors' factory said they would not leave, even after company officials announced the factory was closing.
Some of the plant's 250 workers stayed all weekend in what they called an occupation.
