Sustainergy Welcomes New Worker-Owner, Joins City's New Energy Program

Sustainergy is very excited to welcome a new worker-owner onto the team – Kris Tanner! Kris worked in the food industry for many years. He eventually became so disillusioned with the blatant disregard for humanity, the last straw being a suggestion by a manager to spray poison on food waste being thrown in dumpsters. That day he quit his job. He eventually found out about Sustainergy and the union co-op movement from a friend and jumped at the chance to work with Sustainergy when a job opening became available. He has now been working with Sustainergy as a field manager and became a worker-owner as soon as he was able (after six months of employment). Kris has expressed how working for Sustainergy over the past year has been a holistically empowering experience – across many different parts of his professional and person life! We are so happy to have Kris as the newest worker-owner!
