She couldn't have gotten them all fired. Discharge decisions are made by management, not outsiders.

I don't know about that. I'm sure the people at Boston University cringe every time they hear a report that quotes AOC. They probably drop their heads in their open palms and say "Oh please, not again! Just shut up already!"

The company sounds like a be place to be employed. They seem like they want high turnover. They can do what they want. If they get rid of workers consistently they don't have to give raises.

"The owners of a solar power company fired their entire workforce after Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez agitated the workers and urged them to unionize.

Looks like having the queen of the Green New Deal telling them to unionize was probably not the best advice, huh?

Last week, Bright Power decided to fire its staff and farm all the work out to subcontractors instead of maintaining their own workforce. The firing occurred just as the workers were following Ocasio-Cortez’s advice to form a union.

“We have come to the conclusion that our resources have been spread too thin with so many different kinds of work all being done in-house,” Bright Power CEO Jeffrey Perlman said according to VICE.com. “It makes business sense to return to a fully subcontracted solar installation model"

Isn't she just the greatest little job killer?

/——/ Well killing the 50,000 jobs at Amazon was a tough act to top.

Outside of lunch, I can't believe she got good marks in anything. I know trained dogs that are smarter than her. How do you graduate from college and still not know what a garbage disposal is? She thought NYC was going to pay Amazon to put their headquarters there. She's a complete dunce.

its stuff one does not learn in college. As I said----I got good marks----but
came out of it barely functional. An anecdote-----I was so much an airhead that
I had to ask my mom at about age 22---"what's a hickie"? the subject came
up in girlie conversation

The company sounds like a be place to be employed. They seem like they want high turnover. They can do what they want. If they get rid of workers consistently they don't have to give raises.

If you aim for a shorter, more brutish life, seek employment there:

This year, workers decided to unionize following a couple work accidents and pressure from management to work outside in extreme weather conditions in the winter. Bright Power’s solar panel installers traverse high-rise housing complexes across New York City’s five boroughs with high voltage power equipment.

“We were belittled and ignored. They never told us we had to do anything but there was implied punishment if we didn’t,” an installer at the company told Motherboard. (Motherboard agreed to keep three workers at the company anonymous so they could discuss sensitive events at the company without harming their chance to get future work.) On a snowy day last January, that installer felt pressured to bring his team to drill through ice on the slippery concrete rooftop of a 13-story housing development in the Bronx.

Another worker nearly died after heavy-duty wire fell six stories knocking him from a ladder at a housing development in Washington Heights last year, according to three workers at Bright Power. That worker, who is still recovering and preferred for legal reasons not to publish the details of his injury, told Motherboard, “Sometimes I hurt so much I don’t want to eat. [They] tried to kill me because [they] was trying to be cheap.” Two workers say Bright Power never conducted an internal investigation of the incident.

"While Bright Power does not comment on personnel matters, we can confirm that an employee was injured on a job site in October 2018," Betsey Harbison, a spokesperson for the company said with regards to the incident. "Bright Power adhered to its protocols, which included performing an investigation. The employee received medical care and workers' compensation benefits"

Another installer told Motherboard he lost consciousness when an ungrounded conductor shocked him at a senior housing complex in Gravesend, Brooklyn, while he was working on the midnight shift. “Working on a live system is a complete safety issue,” they said. “But I was informed by my foreman that it was safe and people do it all the time. That was the culture. ‘You got to do this fast, because we got to make money.’”

After workers confronted management demanding that they create a safety plan and received no meaningful response, they approached the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW), which represents roughly 750,000 electrical workers, about forming a union.​

I rarely see those who condemn unions condemn the police unions.

Government is the largest union employer in the country.

I have said for YEARS that government employees should not be permitted to unionize. Even Franklin Roosevelt realized that!

Unemployment compensation for simply being naturally unemployed on an at-will basis is better.

A fifteen dollar an hour minimum wage and fourteen an hour for unemployment compensation on an at-will basis in our at-will employment States.

if you can just say...hey i dont want to work and get paid....why would anyone work?...

you just might have a different opinion on that if you worked in the Post Office....

With the social bailout after 1929? We could have solved simple poverty Yesterday, but for the social horror it may cause the right wing.

BS. You can't solve the poverty ever by screwing the productive.

But that's not even the objective.

Socialists, like all Totalitarians, need an underclass suffering and dependent on them. That's why Democrats want to give Welfare and Food Stamps to the poor as opposed to a Job.

Nobody takes right wingers seriously about economics. Only the right wing insists we have to "screw over the Poor to help the Rich under Capitalism." The left know we merely need to Use capitalism for all of its capital worth in modern times. Solving simple poverty in a market friendly manner can only increase the positive multiplier effect upon our economy and actually give consumers something to be confident about.

not many here take you seriously either danny....just saying....

How many jobs has she cost people in the last year? Between this and the Amazon fiasco it must be in the hundreds.

Capitalism? Some persons may want to be able to spend more than the rock bottom cost of a form of minimum wage that compensates for capitalism's natural rate of unemployment.

Down the road, all the students would be asking WTF is AOC????

She's a one-termer that got lucky nobody came out and voted on election day. The people who did vote for her were horny guys and uninformed voters, who didn't know or care about what she was about. Now that she's embarrassed her district so badly, I predict a much stronger turnout no matter who she's facing.
