    While privacy would be ideal, and a private companies sharing such information in class solidarity is disastrous there is a counterpoint to consider.

    Norway allows everyone to see anyone's salary. Keeping salaries private is a tactic by the capitalist class to suppress pay and this information imbalance is worsened if employers have access to the information and employees don't.

    So just opening the hatch on all salaries at least levels the informational playing field and gives employees some power to negotiate higher pay and expose discriminatory pay practices. Maybe being able to see the salaries of bosses might instill some class consciousness but that might be optimistic.
