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?

It worked great for my last job. I was earning 45 k€ a year (before taxes, it's weird), and when they asked I told them I earned 65 k€ but wouldn't mind a lower salary since the job was good. We settled on 62 k€. It was the biggest raise I got so far.
