Outside of collective bargaining how does the federal government have the power to regulate state lawsuits? It can sign indemnification agreements with businesses. It's why weapons manufacturers aren't legally liable for every single murder. Since federal law supersedes state law, any business with such an agreement would not be at risk no matter what the state law is. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

Supremacy Clause and the Commerce Clause. Commerce is a huge fucking stretch for every single employee and employer. Supremacy only applies if you have the power to do it in the first place, which they dont. --- Trucking Legend Don Schneider! ... Copied to Clipboard!

Commerce is a huge fucking stretch for every single employee and employer.I don't think you appreciate how far the Commerce Clause has been stretched. It's basically the default for congressional authority, because the category of things falling under "having a substantial effect on interstate commerce" is gigantic. Especially when it's an intrinsically "economic activity," because then it can be presumptively aggregated on the whole to be treated as having a substantial economic effect, regardless of individual circumstances. And the employment relationship is by its very nature an economic activity that can be aggregated. Congress has regularly granted large swathes of entities tort liability protections, and you'll be hard-pressed to find a power source other than the Commerce Clause. https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/LSB/LSB10461 --- Party leader, passive-aggressive doormat, pasta eater extraordinaire! ...

I find that the work being done by unions during this time really shows why they are needed. The power difference between corporations and workers is far too great right now.
