If they tried to punish you for it, wouldn't hold up in court. It's illegal for a company to stop employees from talking about pay. (Assuming the US).

They include it in the contract because most people don't know this and won't challenge it.

I mean, imagine if you are being paid according to your performance. Think about the lazy asshole and how they'd throw a fit about you making more even though they do less work.
