Let the lawsuits begin

Colorado's idiot governor signed into law, a bill which would allow anyone who imagines they are not being paid equally to sue. In other words, a woman who works with male coworkers could file a grievance even if she does not know what they are being paid. Equal pay has been the law for fifty years. Why does this keep creeping onto the dumb-as-crap party's platform?
The simple truth is that while men and women are supposed to be paid the same, and in 99.999% of cases, they are, women earn less simply because they work fewer hours.
For example, at my present job, there is one female employee. She is a journeyman electrician, so she is paid the same scale as me. She is also a foreman, so she gets a 10% premium. BUT, I work overtime, she does not. So, she puts in 40 hours and gets paid for 44 straight time. I work 56 and get paid for 40 straight, and 16 at time and a half. So, if the scale were $10 an hour, each week, she would gross $440 and I would gross $640 creating an earnings gap of $200 per week, or $10,400 per year.
The linked article notes that evil google, did research on their own practices and discovered that in most cases, they paid the men less.
The insanity of this law will shutter many small businesses. Shops which cannot afford legal aid will be destroyed whether they are in the right or not. When that happens,every one loses.
