Just an FYI, your employer cannot discourage you and your co-workers from discussing pay and work conditions. You can walk around with a damn sign taped to your clothes with your hourly wage upon it and they cannot fire or discipline you for doing so. 
It is most professional to go to your employer/manager upon learning of discrepancies in pay with other co-workers to get clarification of why you are at that pay rate. (Don’t go around being a whiny baby saying that your salary is to low because so n’ so makes more than you…that is unprofessional.) BUT IF SOME ONE IN MANAGEMENT tries to tell you it is “unprofessional” to discuss your salary with others, they are wrong. Lawsuit has already been won in other states wrong.  As my manager tried to say something to this accord this morning on our staff meeting and I immediately corrected her and now she is mad at me, I figured other people may be hearing this same *** and should, at the very least, know that if they get caught talking about their salary with others (in person or on social media…because as I said this has already been litigated) and a manager tries to discipline them, then congratulations, you can sue and never have to work again!
