54. Shut down the company

And use the ceo's assets to pay reparations and the other parts after that to strengthen the labor boards that investigate corporate abuse and crime. Hire more people afford more projects.

Ceos would just hate that enough to stop disregarding labor laws if they knew they'd lose both thier business and thier money hoard.All of it. And have to get a low wage job working making someone else's profits.

Enforce that punishment for labor violations I bet this bullshit would stop.
