• Posting salaries will give companies an opportunity to collude and suppress wages, rather than driving competition and higher pay.
• The law will disproportionately affect small and new businesses, which may struggle to comply with the requirement.
• A national law would be more effective than individual state laws, as it would create a consistent standard across the country.
