Still, there is no regional or federal law that can prevent someone talking about their wages in the US.
We have this thing called freedom of speech that the courts take pretty seriously (usually).
The whole don't discuss how much you get paid, because its poor etiquette is an anti-worker old wives tale created by HR people last century. Its a complete myth, but most jobs Ive worked at there's always someone who is extermely afraid to discuss the topic out of fear of breaking a non-existent rule. The psyops worked.
ymmv, as living in an ivory tower means I may be unaware of current US rules.

That may be an old wives tale, as corporate money is defined as speech now. =3
