(my current employer should certainly not disclose that information to them)
I agree with the overall message of your comment. Just for people looking on, I should make clear that most jurisdictions do not have ANY law that would ban a company from disclosing truthful, public information about a former employee, and it would be hard to make a case that disclosing a former employee's salary (which arguably is not "public" information for most business corporations) is in any way illegal. A company may or may disclose that, depending on its own policies. (Most companies don't disclose very much besides dates of employment, but you can't count on that as a matter of law.)

- walshemj 12y agoWell this is't this place to have that debate :-) Though the current ICO should be fired (over the employment blacklisting issue) which if Ed gets it on the 8th I might try and do something about. Having said that the DPA is prayed in aid by some many organisations when they don't want to do something that your not got to get called on it.
