They can request it, but can't stop you if you do.
You can also request them to do likewise, with similar recourse.
A request is nothing without teeth behind it.

Teeth like employment at-will?
It's generally quite unlikely that sharing your salary is going to result in getting bitten by that. You'd need to do labour organization (or be completely surrounded by rats and snitches and other vermin at your workplace, who already have an axe to grind) to actually get blowback for this stuff.
Most of the taboo around it is cultural, because people here attach their self-worth to their paycheck.
You could also always do it anonymously or pseudonymously. You'd have almost no chances of retaliation in that case.

Basically the only advantage an employee can have in this sort of negotiation is not needing to be employed by that company.
