AOC Just Got 12 People Fired From Their Jobs, Wait Until You Hear Why They Were Fired

We know Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is full of new fresh ideas. Some of them are dumb ideas, and some of them are, well, very dumb ideas.

One of her recent ideas just led to 12 solar power workers getting fired from their jobs.

The owners of the solar power company, Bright Power, fired their entire workforce after AOC decided to stick her nose around and urged the workers to form a union. In lieu of a full-time workforce, they have decided to go back to what they used to do which was to just use subcontractors.

According to Money and Markets,

Back in April, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s ludicrous Green New Deal inspired a group of New York City construction workers to unionize, becoming one of the first unions in the solar power industry. It didn’t last long, though.

On Monday, the union’s employer, Bright Power, decided to fire the whole staff and replace them with subcontractors. All this happened while the union was trying to negotiate for their first contract, too.

“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,” Jeffrey Perlman, Bright Power CEO, said in a company email, according to Vice. “It makes business sense to return to a fully subcontracted solar installation model.”

AOC was very upset and shared a tweet condemning the company for their actions:

Many have told me they think the pro-justice & worker provisions in the Green New Deal are “unnecessary.”

Yet this example is why a just transition is vital. Without it, oil barons turn into energy barons, & workers are hurt all the same.

Bright Power must be held accountable.

This is the danger of not only unionizing, but also with listening to socialist liberals who have no real understanding of economics and business.
