britexpat: It appears you have not had any experience of the Labor Office. YES, they do force companies pay the outstanding salaries and dues. I have seen employees in the ranks of labor and drivers getting justice done from the Labor Office forcing the management of their companies to settle their accounts. As for stiff penalties being imposed, I have not heard of any and as such there possibly exists no deterrent to prevent some companies from flouting the rules and regulations openly, and repeatedly.
