If employers and employees have equal access to salary information, negotiations can be more effective and satisfying. She comments that we already practice ‘safe sex’, why can’t we practice ‘safe money?’

Check out her interview in the 20/20 segment regarding salary transparency:  http://abcnews.go.com/Video/playerIndex?id=6668520.

Also check out the interview in the 20/20 segment with Penelope Trunk, co-founder of Brazen Careerist. Interestingly, Trunk talked about the open salary discussions that occur within her company.

Where do you stand?
