In a word:yes.As HR company Insperity put it in a recent blog post:Can your employees discuss their salaries or wages with their co-workers? Yes.Even if you have a company policy against it? Yes.The freedom to discuss your salary at work is a protected right under federal labor law.The National Labor Relations Act of 1935 protects your right to discuss the conditions of your employment，including issues related to safety and pay，even when youre not protected by a union.Talking about salary with colleagues can be uncomfortable，since theres such a taboo about discussing money matters，but its an important step towards achieving equal pay for equal work.One barrier，however，stems from how we think of our own financial worth.Too many people I talk to wrongly consider their salary a reflection of their worthiness，a statement about their skills，experience，or value.At the end of the day，if we can all separate our self-worth from our salaries a bit more，itll become easier to talk frankly with our colleagues.Asking about money outright can be tough，so one trick Ive picked up along the way is to ask for your colleagues to confirm or deny.For instance，you might volunteer your salary first and ask“Does that sound about right to you?”by way of comparison.Or，lets say youre interviewing for a promotion to become a manager.You might ask a fellow manager about the kind of salary you should expect by saying，“Im seeing salaries for this kind of position ranging from $65，000 to$70，000does that seem accurate to you?”This way，even if your colleague isnt comfortable sharing their salary outright，they can help you identify if your expectations are on point or way off.1、What makes co-workers uncomfortable to talk about salaries?AThe safety issue.BThe federal 1abor law.CThe wrong idea about salaries.DThe reflection of their worthiness.2、What does“taboo”underlined in Paragraph 3 refer to?AA prohibited practice.BA religious belief.CA general agreement.DA social cus
