That's a cultural matter above anything else. The salaries in question[1], are considered absurd in Greece. Try posting online that you get that amount of money and you're going to receive phone calls from people asking for some financial help. So, I consider my salary a sensitive information and wouldn't want to see it online. If my boss - I don't have any, though - would want to do that, I would be against it, but not eagerly. As far as the average salary for a given position goes, shouldn't unions and teh state, by imposing the lowest limit, handle the matter? In Greece the lowest pre-crisis 2010 (2008 started, but 2010 shit hit the fan), lowest salary was 620 EUR. Of course, you can't live in Athens with such a low salary if you don't own your house. Now I think it's something like 586[1] and probably going down in order for Greeks to become more competitive. Although competition against more advanced technologically, financially and industrial countries having the same currency, it's a receipt for poverty[3] (which is what is happening after all).
