There are many, but one recent bill from Elizabeth Warren:

> Empowers workers at United States corporations to elect at least 40% of Board members: Borrowing from the successful approach in Germany and other developed economies, a United States corporation must ensure that no fewer than 40% of its directors are selected by the corporation's employees.

heavy-handed central planning at its finest.

no one is forced to work at these companies and no one is forced to buy the stocks. if you don't like the way the company is run don't work there or invest.

imagine the opposite heavy-handed intervention. what if it was proposed that companies are banned from allowing employees reps on the board...

Forcing people to commit murder is bad, therefore the opposite -- forcing people to not commit murder -- must be equally bad, because they are both forced.

This is not a strong argument.
