Discussion of salary and (iirc) discussion of working conditions are strongly protected in the US. Anyone know how universal that is?


Legally, yes. De facto it's a lot trickier, and that's always the rub.


Most of the public sector jobs in India (& in California too) have published lists of every position's base rate & the rate of increase.


A lot of states have public salaries. If it's not released then organizations like newspapers will file FOIA requests.


I am not aware of any such protections in Europe. It may be, but in the 3-4 countries where I know the legislation there is no such thing.


There's legal protections for discussing salary in UK at least
