The topic of discussion was the fact that we're trying to encourage employees to share salaries with each other. They wanted to try to argue that it was against the "corporate culture" and "Attitude" and that it creates an "uncomfortable work environment" where people who might not be willing to share that information are feeling pressured to, and compared it to sharing medical information.
that's why
instead of directly punishing them or telling them not to
Those are threats though, you can get fired for creating a hostile work environment
Right, and if OP gets fired, they'll say it's for that reason
No, of course not, that's not what I'm saying, I'm just saying that it is an obvious threat that you'd have to be a US judge not to see
No, I was serious actually. But the NLRA doesn't keep you from getting fired if it's for an illegal reason like that, it just means you can sue them later if you can afford to
Edit: Or if they made you sign an arbitration agreement like @Nagarjuna described, that's your option instead
Gotcha
