Does it also necessitate which health and safety standards to follow? Or which anti-discrimination laws? What about a manager insisting that the employee thirty years younger than them submit sexually to them? After all, it’s categorically more free if employees are offered the choice in all of these matters, right? And “freedom, necessitates, that the people are free” to “agree” to these arrangements.
Except, of course, people who are faced with “do this or your children starve” are NOT free in any meaningful sense of the word.
