summary
#talkpay on May 1 encourages publishing salaries and the uploader lists $122,000 disclosed publicly as a datapoint; refusing to give previous salary coincides with a reported 200% pay increase over two years. US law (National Labor Relations Act) protects salary discussion. Open source requirements and unpaid contributions exclude people who lack resources, illustrated by the case where Twitter adopts the block list idea without compensating Randi Harper. Regular 45–60 hour expectations produce 12.5–50% effective wage theft.
