Nothing like that at all.
Corporations have the right, the duty and the obligation to take care of the health and welfare of their repective employees.. The government has no business telling a private entity how it can spend money on those employees.
Meat is NOT the same thing at all. Meat is consumed by more than one person and in more than one state. California has a the right, the duty and the obligation to insure meat is properly slaughtered, stored during transport and refridgerated at all times.
Corporations have the duty to increase the value of their shares, they have responsibility to follow laws based on corporate safety, but only in the workplace. They can offer health care as a benefit, not as a right.
California can do that to it's own pork producers, they can't to others out of State. That's up to the feds.
