“I wonder how happy these employees are with Ocasio-Cortez now, seeing the real world consequences of pushing for unionization?”
Actually they are NOT blaming her. Notice in the article their response?
“This is obviously retaliation for union organizing,” said Chris Schroth, one of the 12 fired by Bright Power. “The total hypocrisy of their progressive mission as a green energy company is disgusting. They did everything that a big bad union busting company does. This is exactly what a coal company or any other evil company does.”
The blame they say is on corporate America, Coal, evil capitalism. These sorts never learn. Blinded by their own ignorance.
AOC is a real Shit Midas with jobs.
The government would have shot everyone.
Not to worry. I’m sure AOC will hire them at her business.
Well, they don’t have to be undercompensated anymore.
Oh my sides. LOL
They can all have a re-union at the unemployment office.
With that being said, according to the article only 12 employees were fired. So that begs the question, if your work force contains only 12 employees, what in the hell would make you think you have leverage over the company you are trying to unionize with only 12 employees? That's just plain stupid......LOL!
“....Not to drive a business into the ground....”
The problem is union leadership never suffers when that happens. The rank & file are on they dole, the leadership just moves on and organizes someone else.
Rule #2: You can't unionize if you only have 11 fellow employees.....
LOL. If you barely have enough people to field a company softball team, you shouldn’t even think about organizing into a union.
The fired workers need to look at the bright side.
Now they don’t have to work for what they called, an “Evil company”.
Your answer of the rank and file never suffers and just moves on is spot on. That is the ‘career model’ taught in business classes in colleges for a couple decades now at least.
I remember instructors teaching how just to enrich yourself and move to another job. Your job is just to make as much money as you can and move on. Because ‘everybody’ has many jobs during their career and it isn’t sensible or possible to stay at any one company. Not a one of them cared about the success of the business.
She’s not exactly Mother Jones, is she?
“The firings came during a period of growth for Bright Power. The company, which installs solar panels in many areas of New York City, has been named one of 5,000 of the fastest growing companies in the U.S. by Inc. magazine.”
12 people make up the entire staff of one of the fastest growing companies in the US?
they start out with 10 employees making $12 an hour and wind up with 5 employees making $15 an hour.
=- = = = = = = = = = = =
What far too many don’t realize
If the MINIMUM wage is now 15, all those that were making 15 will ‘demand’ the same cushion between them and min wage and it works on up the food chain.
Why the unions have the clause they will make XXX above the minimum wage with ALL positions rising accordingly.
So the waiter/waitress/bartender that is ‘demanding’ 15ph, may get it BUT tips will go down as prices go up, busboy/barback etc will dry up to make up the difference.
Back in the day when the (non union) laborers would go on ‘strike’ for a quarter, the owner would say GIVE THEM a dime cut back to 40 hours (8 hr perday).
In the asphalt business, that is cutting off his nose to spite his face but the message got received very quickly.
As superintendent/foreman, I ‘hated’ it because the ‘old man’ sort of expected the same production with 3+ hours less per day......
The upside is they can decide if they want to bid on a job or give it a pass. The downside is that any bid they put in will have to be competitive.
Welcome to capitalism, guys.
