To simplify a bit, if your company is based in the U.S. and subject to National Labor Relations Board jurisdiction, this is illegal. Knowledge of this is a nice tool to have in your back pocket while dealing with management and HR.

Not in the US unfortunately. Don't know enough about labour laws in my country but I doubt there's gonna be something in there.

You can use sites like Glassdoor to get around this (I'm not affiliated with them in any way). Or start your own glassdoor, more as a public service (even if you don't make money from it) -- let people post their company and salary, so others can see.

Glassdoor is a site that lets you view reported salaries from different companies. They're doing lots of things now, but that was the original value prop for that site, IIRC.
