☆ Insiders say Oracle is crushing morale at $28 billion acquisition Cerner by cutting over 3,000 workers, banning raises, and sidelining its former CEO
▼ + stars: | 2023-05-16 | by ( Ashley Stewart | Blake Dodge | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +3 min

After the acquisition closed in June, Oracle has laid off more than 3,000 of the 28,000 original Cerner employees, one of the people said. According to his LinkedIn, Feinberg left the CEO role in September before becoming "chairman" of Oracle Health. After Johnson left, Oracle moved data and artificial-intelligence back under its cloud business. Internally, the face of the unit appears to be Oracle Health General Manager Travis Dalton, who has been in charge of all-hands meetings. Oracle Health is in charge of a contract worth several billion dollars to overhaul the US Department of Veterans Affairs' information systems.

Unions sought to use the traditional workers’ day march as a moment to voice the nation’s anger over the pension law, which raises the retirement age from 62 to 64 by 2030. Mr. Macron passed the law in March without approval by the legislature, invoking a provision of the French constitution that gives the president such powers.

Frisone, of CZAR-Power, said he plans to call Republican officeholders to make his case, adding, "This is a political stunt -- why are we doing it?"

☆ Vice President Harris to announce major U.S. order for community solar power
▼ + stars: | 2023-04-06 | by ( Emma Newburger | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +1 min

Vice President Kamala Harris on Thursday plans to announce a commitment between South Korean solar cell manufacturer Qcells and Virginia-based Summit Ridge Energy to deploy 1.2 gigawatts of community solar power, the largest community solar order in U.S. history. The deal will require the manufacturing of 2.5 million solar panels, Biden administration officials said, generating enough clean electricity to power 140,000 homes and businesses. Community solar generally refers to local solar facilities shared by community subscribers who receive credit on their energy bills for their share of the power produced. Qcells in January said it will invest $2.5 billion to expand its solar manufacturing capacity in Georgia. The company projects it will supply about 30% of total U.S. demand for solar panels by 2027.

WASHINGTON, April 6 (Reuters) - U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris on Thursday takes the Biden administration's jobs agenda to a right-wing Georgia congressional district represented by Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, an avid supporter of former President Donald Trump. Harris is announcing a further expansion, including an order for 2.5 million new solar panels involving Summit Ridge Energy, according to administration officials. But Dalton is the seat of a county where Trump won 2.4 votes for every one for Biden. "Instead, congressional Republicans want to roll back this progress and put investments in manufacturing, clean energy and good jobs at risk." Georgia is expected to again be one of the most contested states in the 2024 presidential election that may pit Biden against Trump once again.

Virginia-based power company AES Corp. says it is ready to push the button on a solar-panel order of more than $1 billion if a manufacturer will commit to building a factory in the U.S. If that factory gets built, AES can buy its panels and apply for federal subsidies recently made available to clean-energy developers that use equipment made in the U.S.

☆ Macron Proposes Bonus for Workers in Bid to Calm Pension Protests
▼ + stars: | 2023-03-22 | by ( Matthew Dalton | ) www.wsj.com time to read: 1 min

PARIS—President Emmanuel Macron stood by his overhaul of France’s pension system on Wednesday but proposed several measures for workers—including bonus payments for employees of companies that buy back shares—in a bid to calm an escalating protest movement against his government. In his first public remarks since pushing through the overhaul last week without a vote in Parliament, Mr. Macron said the law and its centerpiece, raising the retirement age from 62 to 64 by 2030, were needed to fix a pension system that would become unaffordable in a matter of years. He said he wanted the law’s provisions to enter into force by the end of this year, defying polls that show the public is largely opposed to the overhaul.

This year, however, many of the ponds are nearly empty after an exceptionally dry and warm stretch of weather that has lingered across much of Europe since last summer. The farmers expect to raise half as much fish as they did last season and lay off workers who usually help with the catch.
