The union representing laid-off Republic Windows filed charges today against their former employer, alleging that the company violated labor law by failing to negotiate with workers in good faith.

The workers are seeking to have Republic machinery moved to a factory in Iowa returned to the Chicago plant.

"We want to try to get the plant reopened," says Ron Bender, who worked at Republic for 14 years. "If a new owner wants to come in, he needs that equipment to open up the plant."
