The law takes a step that is completely unique: it prohibits employers from asking prospective hires about their salary histories until after they make a job offer that includes compensation, unless the applicants voluntarily disclose the information. No other state has such a ban in place.
[...] The new law also bans salary secrecy, blocking employers from keeping their employees from talking about pay with each other. About half of all employees say they are either prohibited or discouraged from discussing compensation, even though they have a legal right to do so.

Instead of just mocking GP, you could have earned an "informative" mod by linking to something useful.

You can look up any large company on Glassdoor. The available evaluations aren't especially useful, unless you register. There is a fee for registration, but that can be bypassed by submitting your own evaluation. There is no guarantee that the evaluations you read are of any quality, or accuracy. Even so, this particular service is useful, in that you can guage how many people are extremely dissatisfied with a company (That is, so dissastisfied that they search out a forum to voice their complaints), and whether their complaints follow a trend.
