As long as salaries are considered confidential there will be inequality in compensation. The fact that employees feel that we will be the ones who have to justify our salary to other employees (in the case where we make more for the same (in name) position) is a cultural issue.
I think that the employer should have to be prepared to justify why they may pay one individual more than another for a similar job. If one person performs better, let them be the ones to say so.
Once the stigma of salary sharing is gone, we'll be much closer to pay equality.
