Then companies can't undercut each other. This would also take away the advantage start-ups have. No one would be punished in implementing my idea. We would keep the max pay scale at all companies. A national seniority list will never happen. My idea is at least plausible. The problem is the companies would never agree to it as it would give us incredible leverage.
