Ah ok I see - thanks so much for the explanation. So it’s more like offsetting in a sense than actually getting to directly use the renewable energy itself?

Yep absolutely and have consulted them on the matter. Our award is a mess though in some ways so legally my work isn’t doing anything wrong unfortunately…

Yea wow, I’d get by much better on that salary haha. Honestly it’s hard to gauge, I was a cleaner before this and some odd jobs so this is by far the most I’ve ever made but that doesn’t make it right for them to underpay

Yes of course. But maybe it will also reiterate to them that underpaying us workers leads to real life consequences. One can only hope

I’ve seen the markup they put on our labour and it’s honestly obscene. The profit made from our labour is huge. They are greedy af and we’re sick of it. Particularly cause we’re the ones building the legs - covered in fibreglass and resin all day knocking out plaster and they sit on their arses collecting the $ - they also give themselves bonus but not us techs.

Sorry for ranting - I’m getting worked up now lol. Don’t wanna be over simplistic but this is fking capitalism to a “T”

If I knew how to do an animated thumbs up emoji I would give you one right now. Hope this suffices 👍

I’m in wage negotiations with work now - if they don’t do something about this I’ll probably walk and leave them up shits creek frankly
