And everyone thought registries were only for sex offenders. If it works to punish them then why not on those who don’t want to work?

Doesn’t all this happen with a government list too? The problem is making a demerit list with parties that could be interested in abusing it. Is a government list going to be any more likely to verify that the reports are accurate?
I guess theoretically a government list is more beholden to the general public, but in reality that’s rarely how things actually play out. The whole reason this exists at all is because business has influence with politicians that regular voters don’t. It certainly isn’t a priority of the general voting population.
I am not saying that a government list like the one proposed in Ohio is good. I think it is terrible. But a list managed by an industry group where the keepers of the list are direct stakeholders of the list, while not beholdend to Freedom of Information requests, as suggested by the parent comment, is even worse.
