Why would we be sued? It’s definitely not illegal here in Canada to discuss your employment details.
It’s not illegal in the US either, but you can still be sued by employers for doing it.
On what grounds? Surely no one with a regular job would sign a contract prohibiting them from discussing the details of their employment.
And it wouldn’t matter if they did. Such contracts are not legal in the US. In fact, employers can be fined simply for requesting an employee sign a contract that restricts their right to discuss salary.
You don’t need a contract. In the United States, anyone can sue anyone for anything. No laws need to have been broken nor contracts breached.
I don’t know the legal side, but employers don’t want you to talk about your compensation with anyone. Maybe it’s legal, but definitely frowned upon.
Sounds to me like more of a reason why we should.
