Rather than waiving picket signs and calling the mayor the spawn of the devil, dozens of Chicago workers are attempting a new kind of protest: serenading Rahm Emanuel into submission.

Three hundred and fifty janitorial workers at O'Hare International Airport are slated to lose their jobs on Friday, after Emanuel awarded the lucrative contract to a non-union company that offered its services for a significantly lower price. The current workers were forced to re-apply for their positions along with the rest of the public, for a lower wage and no guarantee of full-time work.
