Company owners/directors vs employees is a 1:x ratio, where x can get to 100,000 and more.

And if you are worried about other companies having an unfair advantage make this mandatory in all states. And penalty-tax international goods imported from countries without something similar.
Else, you are competing with the lower common denominator, ie. with what people are willing to do in a poverty stricken country somewhere on the world, where even kids are allowed to be put to work, etc.
Which is unfair to both you and to them (because it makes it possible to perpetuate their relative misery as a "strategic advantage").
The current state of the Spanish economy, particularly the crippling high youth employment is the primary case study for this situation.
