Does not apply unless one is going to say that companies transport labor across state lines (which could only be realistically argued for transport workers). Maybe those who telecommute, it is conceivable that one might have their factory in Michigan and their customer service in Mississippi and those customer service people perform their work via the internet or phone network.

[The Congress shall have Power] To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes;

Since labor is usually provided wherever the worker is, unless the worker themselves is crossing state lines on-the-clock (or their labor on-the-clock does), the commerce clause would not apply and State Law would (and does).
