There is the Famous Republic Windows and Doors story: 260 workers occupied their plant for 6 world-shaking days in Chicago last Decenmber. With a savvy campaign against the company's biggest creditor, Bank of America (" You got bailed out, we got sold out") and massive international solidarity, they won the severance they were owed. And more-the plant is re-opening under new ownership, making energy-efficient windows with all the workers hired back at their old wages.
This is one of the similar cases, but there are so many cases in the world after recession, then many workers are losing jobs. The owners of a big firms have to close factories, but they also have take care of workers of the factory.
