For labor laws, I’m not sure that’s as bad idea as your sarcasm might indicate. Perhaps, instead, “a mandatory fine shall be levied of 100% of direct and indirect labor expenses (including benefits, unpaid wages, and court-ordered wages) during each calendar year in which labor violations occurred”. That way there’s a natural cap on it to satisfy the courts, but it’s still large enough that any violations are actually a threat to megacorps.

Then pass a law to make them liable even if the employees are employed by other agencies.


That’s already in place, I think, with recent labor law changes — not that FedEx Home Delivery or Amazon Logistics want to acknowledge that!
