I agree that the information asymmetry is unfair, and that jobs should advertise a minimum starting point. It communicates ball park what they are willing to pay to get the quality of candidates they are looking for.

But I'm strongly against any law that makes _my_ actual pay public.

I think they are two separate issues.

I'm not arguing for individual's salaries to be made public, however the minimum and maximum should be published - the minimum alone is not adequate.

That could still reveal a lot of information on individual salaries depending on the company.

Not the maximum salaries being paid to current staff, but maximum salary for the position in the budget, for an ideal candidate (this number is known internally, its just not published).
