Will the entire truth ever be presented fairly or will the media continue to present
anything that will attract readers?

I am weary of the media coverage about Republic and Rich Gillman and would hope the truth will prevail.

I know Rich Gillman and his family for over 55 years and he is a wonderful man, kind, generous and of fine character.

What’s with these “bastard” owners of these window co’s? Seems they ALL share a penchant for GREED! I worked for 21 years for a window hardware co., Caldwell Mfg in Rochester,NY. They screwed us over in a 7 month strike to break the union that had been there for over 50 years. That was in 2004. The union took co. to court and co. was told to come to settlement on contract. They did…….. in June of 2008,some 4 years after workers went back to work!!! Settlement was for more than they could have settled for in ‘04. Then in Jan of’09 they informed 22 remaining mfg. workers that they were moving operations to a plant they have in Hagerstown,MD, which is a non union entity. I have NO RESPECT for anyone in upper mgt. . Look where these CEO”S & executives have taken this country!!! We need to convince people that unions need to make a comeback so that the working class can once again maintain a decent and fair wage and health environment.
PS: Republic Windows & Traco were some of our bigger customers!!
