So... I think rehotorical examples and reasoning are overused, in co texts like these. Ie "how would imaginary person X react if..." People are emotionally complicated and adaptive. Better to loon at real examples. Luckily there are plenty. Salary transparency exists in all sorts of markets. Many US universities and public services publish. Finland and other Nordics have a lot of salary/tax transparency. One really to interesting (to me) example is professional sports. Interesting because (a) sports has massive be pay discrepancies, to your point and (b) salary transparency is generally and employee/union "demand*. It's a demand for the reasons discussed here, transparency resolves an information discrepancy and improves athlete's negotiating position. For US boxing there's a law mandating purse transparency, the Ali act. It was put in place to help boxers Vis a visit "promoters." Apart from equalising negotiating positions somewhat, transparency will probably have other, hard to guess effects. I wonder if the Finnish initiative has had any effect on market salary disrepencies, generally.
