Reply to comment by Paradachshund in New Washington state law will require employers to post job salary ranges by Sariel007

No, you're not following me. Not disclosing a salary range does not bring actionable harm to anybody, not like ingesting poison or injuring yourself.

Duh.

So is the line causing bodily harm to another party? That's where free speech should end?

The line is aggression or the threat of aggression (the initiation of force against a person or property).

Telling a business they have to disclose a salary in their job listing is telling him that you're going to throw them in prison if they don't. All laws are backed up with force. Always. That's an initiation of force against non-force. I don't know about you, but that violates my most fundamental of principles.

Is it true that the penalty is prison? And who goes to prison in the salary example? Wouldn't it be the company who's liable rather than an individual?

Every law ends in prison, or death. Don't support laws that you wouldn't kill for. End of story.
