As soon as management finds out, you will be fired. This is a bad idea all around. In fact, it's really not going to help the employee in the long run. If everything were public, it will allow every company to pay the same rate for the same job. It will only take away any negotiating power you had and wages will converge to the middle (which means less money ). People are also generally jealous about things like this. Even if you are a better employee, your co-worker will never understand why you deserve $X amount of more money. Privacy is one of the only things that an employee has over a large company. Why are we trying so hard to give them more power?

  Management can come up with any number of legal excuses to fire an employee even if they're actually firing them for illegal reasons. A favorite ploy is reassigning "problem" employees to a failing project (or a project that's deliberately made to fail by denying it resources) and laying them off when the project is cancelled. Companies can also make an employee's life miserable in many ways to "encourage" them to leave (no raises, move their desk next to the toilets, deny their vacation requests due to "emergencies", etc.). And after the employee is gone, they can give them a lousy reference if they're feeling vindictive. For lots of details on how companies do their dirty work, see the book "Corporate Confidential".[1] Also, some laws that protect collective employee activities like union organizing or discussing salaries may not apply to people who have managerial titles.
