Though T-Mobile was held accountable, many Americans aren’t aware that these protections apply to them in circumstances outside of collective bargaining. And of course, businesses aren’t going to fill you in on that.
According to a 2010 survey from the Institute for Women’s Policy Research, around half of all employees are either discouraged from talking about wages with each other or outright told to keep their mouths shut or face consequences. And employers can do this because consequences for them are “quite limited,” according to Cynthia Estlund, a professor at New York University School of Law.

Though the bill would help close the gender pay gap and protect all employees, Republicans in Congress, including every female Senate Republican, have repeatedly blocked it.
