How does your salary compare to your market value? A company isn't going to give you a pay increase purely because they hired someone else for more, but they may be open to discussing a raise based on your market value and contributions to the company. I wouldn't bring up that you know your coworker's salary.

agree with this! I would compare to the market salary
You probably just got low balled from the start. Not a lot you can do about it. In the future, look up the average wage for that position and start in the high middle if you are "average" and negotiate down. If you are great at your job, start at the top and negotiate down. .Reiterate to them the things you are good at and relate those skills to what the position is for and let them know you are to be valued. This is when you let them think your poop doesn't stink.
How.long ago did you start? Did you take the first offer? Maybe they negotiated better thsn you
I know how much it hurts when you learn such information. You may not want to say anything to anyone right now, instead use this time to gather your own observations. Are there things only you do, are there any degree/cert difference etc. When you are at work take note of who takes long breaks or extra long lunch. Other people doing others work . Work hourly pay and benefits package average. Ask your boss to sit down and discuss what you saw, what you found in your research and see what she said. She may not realize how much work you are doing.
I agree. But don’t throw anyone under the bus unless what you discover is truely egregious . And start looking for another job right away. That way you have two lines of leverage without ruining your work relationships.
How long have you been there? You could definitely go and ask for a raise if you have put in some time there. As long as you can justify it, there is no harm in presenting the evidence and asking for a raise.
You have leverage if you have something to hold over management... such as quitting or an offer from another employer. Starting a revolution internally isn't a great bit of leverage, but I guess that would be your other option.
