But that is still government. The key is that the goverment is not interfering in the free market commerce of the company. The government, be it local or federal, has the right to enact statutes requiring safe work conditions, environmental standards, etc, that businesses must meet in order to operate.
As long as businesses comply with these, though, their day to day operations as they relate to business commerce....are free from government intrusion.
