I think the GP was talking about liberty with regard to the worker, that they are free to take (or refuse) any jobs they want.

Of course, the inherent power imbalance between an employer and a worker is what allows for exploitation, when not otherwise protected by law.

I’m directly arguing against their concept of liberty. Being at the whim of Uber’s C-Suite isn’t it.
