Vice President Biden Visits Window Factory in Chicago

Vice President Joe Biden (C) tours the Serious Materials window factory with Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley (L) and Serious employee Armando Robles in Chicago on April 27, 2009. The former Republic Windows and Doors factory, whose December 2008 shut-down attracted international attention when workers locked themselves in the factory demanding severance, is in the process of being re-opened under the ownership of California-based Serious Materials with the help of stimulus money from the federal government.
