It was, though it was particularly odd in the context of a discussion on sex discrimination.

More productively, there are ways to share salary that don't involve potential problems since you can maintain anonymity. Writing down numbers and throwing them in a hat is an old fashioned method.

The stigma against people knowing your salary is only part of the issue, though, and it's not even the biggest part.

The real risk is that your employer knows you're sharing your salary - just being part of the hat-sharing circle is enough to brand you as a troublemaker. And, while there are rules against explicit retaliation for organizing (including salary-sharing) there aren't any rules against management suddenly deciding you're not cut out for plum assignments and that you deserve to have the book thrown at you for the stuff in the back of the employee conduct policy nobody ever pays any attention to.
