Help-wanted advertisements in New York will have to disclose proposed pay rates after a statewide salary transparency law goes into effect on Sunday, part of growing state and city efforts to give women and people of color a tool to advocate for equal pay for equal work.

Employers with at least four workers will be required to disclose salary ranges for any job advertised externally to the public or internally to workers interested in a promotion or transfer.

Pay transparency, supporters say, will prevent employers from offering some job candidates less or more money based on age, gender, race or other factors not related to their skills.

Advocates believe the change also could help underpaid workers realize they make less than people doing the same job.

I think bigger problem is pay lottery itself. And empolyer don't want old(as in longer employed in same company) employees to know they are paid less than newly-hired.

This is why everyone needs to talk about their salary. Shatter that idiotic notion about pay rate discussions being bad, because it only benefits the assholes at the top sucking every penny they can.

In most of post-Soviet countries labour laws explicitly says workers can say their salary, working conditions and other stuff and cannot be punished for this.

This is also true in the US. Its very important

Yep. That's why I brought up my comment. I thought for years that discussing your salary was a really bad thing, because so many people talk about how you'll get fired for it. Imagine my surprise when I actually read through those NLRB posters in the break room...
