Tim Fernholz, The American Prospect: "Labor organizations around the country were thrilled on Sunday after Barack Obama came out in support of the workers who occupied a closed Chicago factory in an attempt to secure back wages. 'I think they are absolutely right,' Obama said. 'These workers, if they have earned their benefits and their pay, then these companies need to follow through on those commitments.'"
