In the wake of its decision to furlough workers, EmPower had several job postings on its website, including for solar installers.

hmmm

It would sure be a shame if someone started flooding the job postings with fake applicants. I’ve heard of this happening before and it’s quite disruptive, wouldn’t cha know.

If the workers were truly "laid off" then they've got first dibs on being re-hired, right?

(...right?)

Maybe it's time for the Department of Labor to make sure that gets enforced.

That's commonly in a union contract...
