I would talk to the subordinate first, alone, and find out if he really wants to do the work for free. He may feel like he is learning a new skill. If he doesn't want to do it, then the only reason he would is through intimidation by his boss. In that case, you have a good reason to terminate the boss.
If you don't terminate him, you need to at least tell him risk he is putting himself in for complaints of harassment and intimidation.

Explain to him that the subordinate can not do work on a side business on company time. If they are working on this side business on off hours I would talk to the subordinate. How does he/she feel about helping? He/she may feel like this is no different than attending luncheons, benefits, or golfing with the boss to help advance his/her career. If the subordinate feels trapped into helping, talk to the other employee. Explain that it is unethical to ask a subordinate to work without pay (and could easily be seen as illegal by a Labor Board).

Can't point you to legal cases without some idea where on this spinning planet called Earth that we might be.
Does the subordinate wish to do this work?
Do you have a boss you can chat with about this?
