If this catches on, I wonder how long it will take the federal government to decide it's such a good idea everyone needs to do it. I can imagine a database of approved salaries that map to job titles, geographic metadata, and whatever else - and that's what you'll get paid.

A widespread "take it or leave it" policy across an entire industry would basically be akin to wage fixing. If nobody in an entire job market will negotiate with employees on salary, they could effectively lock out truly competitive wages.
