Green Goddess: Maybe they mean Green as in "Alien": "What is to be said for these workers at SolarWorld who were offered the opportunity to keep their jobs if they chose to drive almost 40 miles each way to the new office, work for $5 to $6 less an hour, lose benefits and seniority, be subjected to 12-hour swing shifts and at the same time lose their voice in the workplace? Do we chalk this up to progress?
Green jobs can never help rebuild our economy if the industry is not built with respect and dignity for the workers who will be doing the heavy lifting. We cannot allow taxpayer subsidies to lure jobs from one state to another and at the same time finance anti-union activities."
