This week in the War on Workers: Bringing green jobs back from China, and making them union to boot

by Laura Clawson

One reason for concern as consumers have turned to more energy-efficient light bulbs has been that those bulbs were overwhelmingly manufactured in China. So it's good to see Neutex Advanced Energy Group, which makes LED lights and fixtures, bringing manufacturing back to the United States, and working with the IBEW to provide union jobs. One hopes that all the talk in the video of the union working to help the employer with its wants and needs doesn't mean workers' wants and needs are being overlooked. Because as long as that's not the case, it's pretty exciting to see American union manufacturing of energy-efficient products that had been being made in China.
