[QUOTE="iluvatar5150, post: 73998861, member: 313046"] Employing labor is a form of commerce. Most forms of commerce at this point could be argued to have some sort of interstate component to them. Granted, one could argue that the "interstate" aspect has been tortured at times in the past in order to justify federal intervention in what might otherwise be seen as a local matter, but I think that when businesses scale up to the size that I assume Bernie is talking about (i.e. large enough to have a board, if not publicly traded), they're well beyond acting solely on a local scale. At that size, I would imagine they fall under a number of other federal regulations (e.g. SEC) and, thus, the "interstate" ship has already sailed, so to speak. Since labor is commerce and since large companies work on an interstate, if not global basis, establishing further rules regarding the relationship between employer and employee (e.g. stock/profit sharing & board representation) would seem to me to be well within the purview of the federal government.
