Underpaid recent graduate

So I got my first job after graduating college and I’ve been working here for a month. I recently found out I’ve been getting paid $1 less than my coworkers who have the same eligibility and are performing the same exact tasks/amount of labor as I am. They have also been there for only a couple months. My supervisor and I found this out at the same time (she is new) and she’s also trying to help get my pay raised to the appropriate amount. BUT my supervisor also kept telling me I’m not allowed to discuss my wages with my coworkers (I know this aspect is illegal). We are still waiting to hear back about my pay but I feel like it should move faster- it’s been a week. Is this allowed? What can I do and how fast should I expect them to move?
