Salary Transparency

There is a female where I work that is getting paid in the 40,000 range and a male doing the same job with less experience and produces less although he is about 10 years older than her he makes 108,000 I am not supposed to know about this but I do. I feel like salary transparency is a must in today's society

The business holds all the cards when there's no transparency. Negotiating a salary when you have no idea what your counterparts are being paid is in favor of the business.

Capitalism.

How long have they both been with the organization? Not saying it's fair; but seniority accounts for some instances of the pay disparity.
 
I got hired on at a major corp. in my 20's w/ same experience level, age, etc as the male sales rep and goes what ? He was paid $10k more a year than I was. I checked into it ti see if perhaps he had more territory, dif. account structure, blah blah, but no, just a penis.
 
In government, all salaries are open and can easily be seen. I think if the government can do it, why not private corporations. I think I would be able to trust my employer more if they did it and I would work harder to get that top salary.
