I don't think that's an issue of freedom: drivers can drive for the company they like, just not as a wage slave.

His point is that they're not "wage slaves". They can freely move to another minimum wage job. The fact that they don't indicates that Uber is a better deal.

For now. If Uber gets away with it, all taxi companies will follow, and the situation changes.
