Collection: Let's Talk About Pay

One way to find out whether you're paid fairly is to talk with your coworkers.

In the US, the National Labor Relations Act has been protecting workers' rights to discuss pay and working conditions and collectively bargain since 1935.

Check your state laws too. The California Equal Pay Act was strengthened in 2015 “making it illegal for employers to prohibit employees from discussing or inquiring about their co-workers’ wages.” California also passed SB 1162 requiring pay transparency in job listings from January 2023 onward.
