I’m opposed to disclosure laws that would be prone to expose the income of individual people.
If Alice is the only SWEPR5 at a company, that proposal publishes her salary. If Bob is clearly the best SWEPR4, Cathy the middle, and Dave just barely got promoted to that level, their salaries are also individually published.
I don’t object to good faith ranges being required in job listings, but I oppose anything that would tend to publish an individual’s data that they should be able to keep private.
(That’s before even getting to the fact that salary is nowhere near the full compensation picture.)
