    The article is written by people who don’t know history. Talking about salaries was never taboo, as the law clearly states, and of course unions always have done so, but companies tried to pretend the topic was off limits.

        we’re like a family. The kind of family you move away from forever and drink to forget for the rest of your life.

          What matters most is understanding, even if we have our own doubts about the methods, that everything corporations do is done out of love.

      Talking about salaries was never taboo

      The employee handbook of Cobleskill Regional Hospital in Upstate NY in 2000 put talking about your pay with another employee as a fireable offense.

        Yes of course. Companies can put a lot of things in their company handbooks if they want to, and that comes with legal risk.
