    ON THE SHOW IN APRIL 2012:

    In 2008, workers at Republic Windows and Doors occupied their plant for six days and won back a financial package that was promised to them. In 2012, workers once again occupied the same plant. We learn more in this segment from the Chicago TV show Labor Beat.

    * RAHM THE GRINCH VS. OCCUPY CHICAGO

    Chicago's mayor Rahm Emanuel has shown little love for Occupy Chicago or for working-class Chicagoans. In this segment, we see a film about the struggle between the Mayor and Occupy Chicago, inspired by a children's classic book.
