But this isn't a tax. It's initiated by a private company. And what would the lawsuit be? I'm sure these people are employed at will. Assuming they are, they have no contract and their employer can change the terms of their employment at any time. Conversely, they are free to quit and find employment elsewhere if they choose.

The role of an employer - meaning business - is to maximize earnings. Each employee costs a certain amount for X amount of production. If some employees are doing X amount of production but due to other factors cost the employer much more, the employer has a right - a responsibility in the case of publicly held companies - to mitigate those costs.
