It's now illegal in New Jersey to retaliate against employees for talking about their salaries or those of others in the company if related to litigation.
A law signed by Gov. Chris Christie on Aug. 29 makes it a violation of the state Law Against Discrimination for an employer to retaliate against a worker who discloses information regarding job titles, occupational categories and compensation rates of other employees if the information disclosed is to be used in any legal action alleging discriminatory treatment in pay, benefits or bonuses.
