Exactly what the title says. I was asked my current base salary, not what I'm looking for. And when I refused they tried to pressure me into answering. I don't want them doing this to other people who don't know it's illegal.

I did try googling but didn't see any answers aside from "sue them". Shouldn't there be a way to report it to the labor board or something?

I have 10 years of experience and I am constantly interviewing in case something better comes along. Somehow other recruiters manage to not break the law just fine.

I am a woman in tech and women can get fucked over by not negotiating or being underpaid for one job, and then that follows them for the rest of their career. Which exactly why this law was passed and should be enforced.
