Stating your pay is not illegal. In fact, Yelp Violates the State Employer laws by firing her on that account. No Terms of Service should ever interfere/break with state law or federal law. Yelp may be in trouble for that claim. SEE A Adam Ruins Everything (Why You Should Tell Coworkers Your Salary) [VIDEO]

Sorry, but that's stupid... Being exploited and loving it - more sounds like an mental illness then passion. You can keep your passion - even when you get paid fairly... But enjoy your happiness in slavery, if you like. Bad thing is you hurt people who may need fair compensation (wife, kids etc. ) for their work, because you show the suits they can find people stupid enough to do so... [VIDEO]
