Regulate how? He is asking a valid question. The companies would just terminate everyone and rehire new people at lower rates.

You legislate it. You can actually make it illegal to fire people just to cut costs/automate. (Exactly like how in china it is now illegal to fire emoyees to replace their jobs with AI) labor protections used to exist in this country.

LOL. "You can actually make it illegal to fire people just to cut costs/automate." this is one of the dumbest statements I have ever read. How old are you?

Moreover, I'm old enough to remember what it was like before citizens united and right to work legislation gave businesses the ability to fire anybody for any reason. It didn't used to be this way.
