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?

This FAQ for the law in question has a link for complaints. It's an equal pay act violation.

  1. Where and when can a person file a claim if they were aggrieved by a violation of Labor Code Section 432.3?
    The person may file a complaint with the Labor Commissioner’s Office, the state agency charged with enforcement. A written complaint must be filed within one year after the date the person learned of the violation.

Problem is that the labor commissioner's office is so backed up, it's a coin toss whether they'll ever actually get to your case
