Workers on Solar’s Front Lines

NEW: In Texas, labor supply can hardly keep up with the booming demand for solar. Yet despite the hot labor market, most solar construction workers are exploited temps: paid unpredictably, forced to front travel expenses, and laid off without notice.

tbh it is mind-boggling to watch, in the real time, The New School admin learn the painfully obvious lesson that if you lean on social justice as a branding strategy, you might attract students and faculty who actually, you know, believe in social justice. whoops.
