The United Steelworkers announced an agreement with Convalt Energy to prioritize workers’ rights as the company pursued solar manufacturing in the United States.
A fair choice for employees
The announcement states that Convalt agreed not to pressure or intimidate employees during union-organizing efforts, supporting a free and fair election.
People and domestic manufacturing
Union leaders linked the agreement to the goal of creating community-sustaining jobs in the clean-energy sector. Convalt’s CEO described respect for employees’ workplace rights as part of the company’s commitment to its people, innovation and U.S. manufacturing. The milestone is the signed workers’ rights agreement, announced by the union itself.
