Would be fun to fine companies by percentage with increasing values for repeat offenses.

While we're at it it would be cool to peg CEO pay to the lowest position available so that if the CEO wants a raise everyone else gets a proportionate increase.

Cool, but tricky. It’d have the effect of simply contracting out loads of positions to sketchy labor companies

Which is why you include contracted, temporary, part-time and full-time workers. And/Or set limits on the number of contracted workers compared to full/part/temp time workers for the same position. Close the loop holes.

Close the loop holes

big business owns Congress, they'd just ~~bribe~~ lobby for new loopholes to exploit

peg CEO pay (...) CEO wants a raise

This sounds like you're talking about salary. This strategy would need to be tied to executive compensation.

Check out the wiki on how convoluted and fucked up executive compensation can get.

And peg politicians' pay to minimum wage.

That's how punitive damages are supposed to work, according to John Grisham
