Now do the other 49!

This should have always been the case. The stigma around discussing and being transparent about wages (created entirely by predatory executives) needs to die.

We've had this in Colorado for a few years. Some of the big tech companies exclude hiring remote here because of it.

I see this regularly, especially for remote - “remote available but not in Colorado”. It trends with the shittiness of the company, so I haven’t really bothered.

Maybe gonna be a little trickier with how large the tech presence in WA is.

I was thinking the same thing. I live near Seattle and the tech presence is huge.

Great question. It was a few years ago, there were news articles about companies having the Colorado exception, when we first did this, so it shouldn't be hard to Google. I wasn't looking and I'm not in tech.

In Minnesota, discussion of wages and earnings is not against labor laws, but your employer can stipulate no wage discussion while on the clock, which is where most employees get together.

It’s a fucked system, and if you ever shied away from the discussion of wages, you aren’t helping the situation.

That sounds like it’s against federal labor law which supersedes state law

It’s messy, but the languages allows wiggle room in an at will employment state.

I’m busy now, but the federal labor department spells it out pretty clearly.

It's not the entire state, just something like 50% of the population :)

As much as I wish we were, we're not the first to do this. ;)
