CHICAGO - Vice President Joe Biden is scheduled to be the keynote speaker at the Chicago Global Cities Forum.

The forum takes place Monday at the University of Illinois at Chicago.

The goal of the event is to address issues like economic recovery and urban planning. For instance, one session is on short-term stimulus strategies that can help local economies.

Leaders from nearly 30 cities worldwide are expected to attend. The cities include Paris, Moscow and Beijing.

CHICAGO - Vice President Joe Biden is in Chicago at a window factory that was the site of a labor dispute last year.

Biden visited the former Republic Windows and Doors plant where workers camped out to protest the shuttering of the facility by the old owner.

The new owner, Serious Materials, makes energy efficient windows and is in the process of hiring back the old workers.

Biden stopped in to talk about stimulus money for green initiatives.
