Fired for talking about my salary

The headline says it all. I was just terminated because I was talking to another employee about my salary. According to my boss, it was “stirring up trouble” by talking about my salary. So, they terminated me. Maybe my salary wouldn't “stir up trouble” if they paid people what they were worth. ​ Edit: I was a contractor – if that makes a difference. Also, I am not going to sue them because I don't really have the resources to do that. It will be too much trouble for very little outcome. I did however file a complaint with the state and will be filing a complaint with the feds when I get a chance.
