This Solar Energy Company Fired Its Construction Crew After They Unionized

Inspired by AOC’s Green New Deal, workers at Bright Power voted to form the first union at a solar power company in New York. On Monday, the company fired them.

@aaron outrageous, should be publicized like crazy. Did you all contact AOC?

They actually tired to get a comment from her for the article, but didn't hear back.

Definitely would be great to get her thoughts tho 😂

"During one of these meetings, the CEO Perlman told workers that he founded the company to do good in the world and that he did not make that much money—pointing out that did not own a yacht and earned less than his wife, the same two workers told Motherboard."

@mattcropp @Matt_Noyes Some things are just mysteries 😂
