John –
The recent momentum behind the Green New Deal has inspired workers from
across the country to ensure green jobs are good jobs. One group in
particular, solar installers at the NYC solar company Bright Power, voted
to form one of the first ever unions at a solar company. But before they
could finalize a contract, these clean economy workers were fired.
What happened at Bright Power is absolutely unacceptable and shows us that
we need to ensure a workers right to unionize is protected in the growing
clean economy.
We’re teaming up with Sunrise Movement and others to drive as many letters
to the Bright Power CEO as we can. [ [link removed] ]Can you send a letter to Jeffrey
Perlman, the CEO of Bright Power, demanding that the company rehire these
workers and formally recognize their union?
The workers at Bright Power often worked under dangerous conditions—in
hazardous weather, without basic safety protocols in place.
Luckily, other clean tech companies are getting it right. When
manufacturers at the electric bus company Proterra recently formed a
union, the company’s leadership voluntarily recognized the union and
pledged to sign a community benefits agreement. This means the company is
committed to working with local nonprofits to recruit and train women,
formerly incarcerated people and workers from underserved communities. An
inclusive green economy means advancing equity, creating good jobs, and
tackling climate pollution.

This is our opportunity to send a message that anyone who wants to build
the clean energy economy needs to pay good wages, maintain safe working
conditions, and protect their workers' right to organize. Green jobs
should be good jobs.
[ [link removed] ]Can you show your solidarity to these workers and send a letter to the
boss at Bright Power?
Thanks for all you do,
-The Green For All Team
