The owner of the company I work for is having a meltdown saying that my colleagues and I cannot have a conversation about our wages. They say it is illegal and I'm 99 percent sure that it is not. They went on to say that they should just give everyone where I work the same rate of pay and give out no more raises. What should I do.

It is absolutely not illegal just google it to find the law

You are in a workplace where the longer you stay, the more toxic it gets. Even my 12 year old sister knows that it is not illegal to talk about your wages. You boss sounds like trouble.

They don’t want you talking to others about wages but it’s not illegal

Start looking elsewhere and apply to places that have a good reputation/put emphasis on their culture and management structure. Emphasize your interest in a company with quality culture in your interviews and mirror the language that the company uses to describe its culture that you find on their job postings/website (without being too obvious/kiss-up ish). Put in your two weeks as soon as you receive a competitive offer. Ur current Co. is not a place you want to be, failing culture = failing Co
