A job contract is naturally a relationship between two entities: employee and employer.

Sure, some people in some countries have tried (sometimes successfully) to undermine this principle, but it's akin to forcing people to marry in groups.

While (modern? ideal?) marriage is a peer-to-peer relationship, the relationship between employee and employer is unbalanced, more like pet-owner.

Societal restrictions on contracts are a way to balance this. Virtually all societies have some form of this, outside utopian ultra-liberal hellholes.
