I just learned about The Work Number, what are other methods of employee, medical, or financial data collection can I opt out of?

I tried looking for lists but didn't find any.
The Work Number is US-specific and where your employers input your salary data for future employers to see. You can opt out here: https://employees.theworknumber.com/employee-data-freeze/.

Consider what would happen if employees across the globe posted to an open database about their employer, position title, salary bonus and health care information. I'm sure we'd all be sued. How is this legal?

Why would we be sued? It's definitely not illegal here in Canada to discuss your employment details.
5 0 ReplyI don't know the legal side, but employers don't want you to talk about your compensation with anyone. Maybe it's legal, but definitely frowned upon.

It’s not illegal in the US either, but you can still be sued by employers for doing it.
1 3 ReplyOn what grounds? Surely no one with a regular job would sign a contract prohibiting them from discussing the details of their employment.
3 0 ReplyAnd it wouldn't matter if they did. Such contracts are not legal in the US. In fact, employers can be fined simply for requesting an employee sign a contract that restricts their right to discuss salary.
2 0 ReplyYou don’t need a contract. In the United States, anyone can sue anyone for anything. No laws need to have been broken nor contracts breached.
