How teams navigate pay inequity when it's discovered

My department has three people who do the same job at different pay levels and we all found out about it accidentally and now there's this weird tension where we're trying to decide whether to address it collectively or individually and nobody wants to be the one who rocks the boat. Management hasn't acknowledged it even though we're pretty sure they know we know.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A group faces the choice between individual self-advocacy and collective action when systemic unfairness is exposed, with unclear consequences for either path.
