Construction workers at the Solyndra Plant in Fremont are spending the day at home Wednesday without pay as President Obama visits the company to praise its work on solar panels.

Workers tell KRON 4's Kate Thompson this day off means they won't get paid. . Neither the company nor several unions returned Kate's calls for comment on why the workers were losing a day's pay for the President's visit.

Joe,

Don't worry, Obama will pay back the unions....he's been doing it for a year and half. It started with the auto workers, auto workers health care trust, and most recently teachers....

They say the story never existed and it was probably a figment of your over active anti Obama imagination

FREMONT (KRON) -- There's new confusion about whether union construction workers at Solyndra, the Fremont solar panels company where President Obama spoke Wednesday morning, will be paid for the day and when.

KRON 4's Kate Thompson reported Tuesday hundreds of union workers were told to take the day off without pay because of security concerns surrounding the President's visit.

In a follow up to the story, Kate says 800 employees, all of whom work the day shift were not given a choice and had to take the day off without pay. Their paychecks for this week will show four days worked, not five.

The general contractor on the project, Rudolph and Sletten, say workers were notified two weeks ago about the unpaid day off. However, Kate reports Solyndra officials say the company was only told about the President's visit seven days ago.

The contractor says because of the day off, the contract on the project will be extended by a day. That company says the pay will even out since workers will get an extra day's paycheck at the end of the project.

Solyndra spokesman David Miller tells KRON 4 News late Wednesday he's unaware of the single day extension. He says the project, to build a factory that will produce solar panels, is on track to finish ahead of schedule.

Both Solyndra and Rudolph and Sletten say they don't know when the contract was extended.

So are you trying to blame Obama for this? Maybe you should point the finger at the General Contractor? Looks like they will end up getting that day back as the contract time needs to be extended for a day.

LOL

Is this the outrage of the day? I wonder what Obama will do wrong today...Maybe play basketball or golf! Maybe eat at a soul food restaurant? Shake hands with a Muslim?

Stay tuned everyone
