![]() ![]() "NYPA needs leadership that understands the potential of public power and will use NYPA's resources and capacity to ensure that affordable energy gets to New Yorkers who need it most and that New York meets its climate goals," said Public Power NY.ĭespite the absence of the proposed reforms in the budget, author and advocate Naomi Klein called the deal a "big win" for campaigners who have spent years pushing for public power in New York. Justin Driscoll, a former Republican donor who has opposed the BPRA, is currently Hochul's hand-picked interim CEO of the agency, and the coalition said it will "mobilize the powerful movement that passed this bill to oppose his nomination." Public Power NY noted that proposed reforms to the governance of the NYPA, which would have made the authority more accountable to New Yorkers, were not included in the final deal. ![]() Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Jamaal Bowman, wrote to Hochul in March to demand the passage of the law. The law is set to create tens of thousands of green jobs and "shut down some of the state's most polluting oil and gas plants-which are concentrated in working-class, Black, and brown communities-by 2030, replacing them with pollution-free renewable power," according to Public Power NY, a statewide grassroots movement.Ĭampaigners were outraged last year when the Democratic-led state Legislature refused to vote on the law before ending the legislative session early. If not, the agency will step in to build enough renewable energy to fill in the gap. The BPRA will enable the New York Power Authority (NYPA), the state's publicly owned power provider, to assess each year whether New York is expected to meet its targets of achieving 70% renewable energy by 2030 and 100% by 2040. And we are building it.\u201d - NYC-DSA Ecosocialist Working Group \ud83c\udf39 Ecosocialist Working Group \ud83c\udf39) To sum it up I was lied to about a training opportunity so that this company could utilize me in another - more.\u201cThis text is the biggest Green New Deal win in US history:\n\nThe #BuildPublicRenewables Act, now in the NY State Budget\n\nThrough four years of organizing across the state by thousands of and more.\n\nA better world is possible. Come the second day I find out from some customers that the WeClean technicians in Wisconsin apparently got sick so WeClean had no one to work Wisconsin. I was promised $200 to go train someone in Wisconsin and when I got up there they gave me some excuse how the trainee wasn't picking up his phone. It gets better! IF ever offered to work in another state for training make sure to get confirmation and payment before leaving your home. A whole month for an EMPLOYEE to get the tools and resources that are required to be in the field. For a WHOLE MONTH, I never received the uniform I was told I was going to get, I never received a tool NEEDED to clean stairs, which ultimately wasted time and money due to me using the incorrect tool. Sure ok, so calling service manager, you have better luck winning the lotto than getting help let alone getting a phone call back from a manager. Whenever I had a situation where I needed help and I would contact the dispatch I would be told to not call him as he can't help but to call service manager. I didn't take it into too much consideration but after my first week I soon started to realize what that meant. As soon as your done training as my trainer told me, "YOURE ON YOUR OWN FROM HERE ON OUT". If it weren't for the entire service manager department and the dispatch (Pat Allgood) ( A Racist) I would have considered giving WeClean a second chance but after working for WeClean for a little over a month I just could bear with it anymore.
