Everyone should discuss their salaries, loudly. That whole thing about it being private is capitalist propaganda nonsense

You'd think that's what's going to happen until your petty jealous coworkers uses the knowledge of your marginally higher salary as a reason to band together to bully you instead of negotiating a higher salary for themselves. Every. Fucking. Time.

Unions are for communicating with workers and negotiating a fair competitive salary for everyone with companies. Personal salary is personal, no good reason to be sharing that with everyone.

No, it's a good idea. People don't gang up and bully you, they go ask management why they are making less. I have no clue what you are even talking about.

That's never once happened to me and I don't know anyone that it has happened to but okay - I'm pro union (in one currently) by the way but it sounds like you are just making stuff up

That's my experience at least. Maybe different sectors work differently. I can only speak for industry work and that's usually a kindergarten with hierarchical social cliques/wolf packs. Maybe it's because there's prestige involved in skilled labor work.
