Are you a renewable energies worker?
Do you feel like your not getting payed a fair amount?
Are you an employer of RE workers and, you feel like your paying them too much allready?
Maybe you just a trial lawyer and business has been slow.

First they came for our health care ...
Now big government is coming for our paychecks.
That's right, some in Congress are pushing a bill called the "Paycheck Fairness Act" -- and it's little more than a handout to the trial lawyer industry.
Under this wrongheaded bill, employers would no longer be able to pay employees differently based on market forces, negotiating ability or even the amount of revenue they generate in return for the employer.
Employers would be open to a flood of frivolous "discrimination" lawsuits -- a windfall for trial lawyers, at the expense of jobs.
This bill isn't about fairness. It's about tipping the scales in favor of plaintiffs' attorneys.
Need more evidence that this bill is a dud?
It would make it easier to file large class action lawsuits and provide unlimited "punitive and compensatory" damages. In other words, trial lawyers strike it rich.
Supporters say it will remedy the so-called "pay gap." But it ignores common-sense, legitimate reasons why an employer may pay different employees different salaries.
It lets the federal government second guess routine decisions made at a private business. How can that be good for our economy?
Empowering big government at the expense of American employers is just plain bad for our economy.
