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.

The other crazy part to this story is that the guy who was our manager when all these injuries happened quit when the union was voted in.

He started a new company and is now talking to Bright Power so they can subcontract the solar work to him.

@aaron What about forming a workers co-op and pressuring Bright Power to contract with the co-op?
