> Equifax just has a bunch of essentially public financial data, addresses and such. None of that is actually private. I agree that the information IS public. However, employers do not. Employers share employee compensation with Equifax but they refuse to share it with their employees. So which one is it? Is employee compensation public or is it not? If it is, please disclose compensation to all your employees to all employees. If it is not, then stop disclosing it to Equifax.
