My department, being a county government agency, of course publishes our salaries. All of the deputies, no matter their sex, make the same, taking into account seniority, etc. Why wouldn't companies want a similar transparency? However, I do NOT think this should be mandated. The government already meddles enough in the business world. I lean on the side of the libertarian view. But in principle, I agree with you. I think it would foster greater trust in the corporation, within its community and industry. I agree completely!

Maybe those productive, talented people would go to companies with published good salaries.

Productive talent that appreciates just reward for output? Out the door.
