I forgot to mention that the Fair Labor Standards Act was a follow-up to the National Labor Relations Act. That act gives rights to share wage information, prevents employers from interfering with that, and court rulings since then have affirmed it. As others replied, it is true when it is just the government and company and individual employee involved, companies usually break this law with impunity. If you are in a labor union or a union organizing campaign, like for the CWA, then you are on more equal footing, as all court rulings up to this point have enforced this right.
