As always unions are harming workers and the economy.
"A bitter dispute over who can work on solar power projects has brought to a halt San Francisco’s efforts to install solar panels at City Hall, Davies Symphony Hall and other prominent buildings.
Electricians, roofers and other unions are battling over “green collar” jobs that are emerging with the city’s aggressive pursuit of clean energy. In June, protests that led to shouting matches between electricians and other laborers stopped work on a five-megawatt solar power plant in the Sunset district.
Officials mediated that dispute, but the city later suspended about $7 million in similar projects after activists threatened more protests."
"Activists" did not threaten projects--unions goons did and the police are not allowed to arrest the goons.
San Fran is losing money. Workers are losing jobs. Taxpayers’ subsidies are being wasted. All because unions own the elected officials. Shame on us for allowing this.
