Should Employees Be Paid Equal Pay?

Ironically, I never understood the concept, that businesses must not discuss pay among employees. Unfortunately, if people talk about their pay, they will be terminated. If two individuals hold the same job title, again why, shouldn’t they be paid equal pay.

The only company I have witnessed, where pay is available for all to view, was the Government. Whether you were in the military or Civil Service, anyone could view what their pay currently is, in addition to future pay with promotions.

The thought alone, of employees of equal statute, making more than another is problematic and promotes inequality in the work
