Looks like AOC and the unions kill more jobs. After reading the article I laughed. These folks were probably making a decent wage and here comes the union selling the employees a dream....just think you can make a whopping $56 dollars an hour. Have a great 401K plan with 4 weeks of vacation and free healthcare. All you have to do is "Unionize", please sign on the dotted line....bingo they did and now they go back to Burger King and McDonalds.

Remember this is the same democrat whackjob Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez that killed a 3 billion dollar investment with Amazon in her district of Queens.

AOC's inspiration failed as solar company fires all employees after they unionized

Employees at Bright Power sought to form the first solar energy union in New York. They accomplished their goal in April with 75% of their employees voting in favor. But after months of negotiations to hammer down their first contract, which would have included a $56/hour wage, 401K, pension, and other benefits, ownership decided to change back to their old business model of using subcontractors.

Even industries subsidized by Tax dollars can't afford such nonsense.

A Union of 12 people is too easy to bust.

From their website https://www.brightpower.com/were-hiring/ showing some of their employees. Looks like the employees had a pretty good company to work for before aoc entered the picture. She's good ain't she.

This is why I was raised to hate Unions. Their demands are outrageous, and are nowhere near close to meeting the market value of their labor.

My employees tried to Unionize my health club chain. I cut everyone's hours in half, most quit, those that didn't participate got a raise, had every position filled within 2 days.
Hell, there's no skill needed for the job, all OJT, Requirements? Look pretty in tights.

If a union would learn to be like a partner to the business. Instead they put their own self interest ahead of the viability of the company.  If someone thinks they are more valuable than the pay they are getting they should work for the company that agrees.  AOC has shown that she is great at destroying opportunities for the middle class. Does anyone know of a single instance where a thing she says would benefit the country.

Nah, it was the 80s, no one wore B-ball caps.

I'd say she succeeded handsomely.  If her goal is to create chaos to make the NWO to destroy  the law of the land, she wins.

Two opinions I have about the unions, they just laundry $ for the democrat party, union member's loyalty seems to lay with the union and not the company signing their paycheck.

No employee or Union is a partner. They don't agree to go without pay or even put money in during the slow months. They don't share in the cost. They never contributed in the losses and invested in the startup. They just demanded the profits. Typical maggot type Democrats that would vote for AOC.
$120,000 a year  + benefits for assembling and installing solar panels was certain to cause this company to react and the employees only proved their stupidity. They deserve the BK or Micki-D jobs they will have now.
