88. I think we agree but
remember that liberty belongs to the employee AND the employer. The employee is free to do whatever he wants on his own time and the employer is free to decide if those activities are negatively affecting his business.

The employee is free to work wherever he can get a job.
The employee is free to quit that job for whatever reason.
The employer is free to hire who he wants.
The employer is free to fire who he wants.

Businesses do not exist to provide jobs. They primarily exist to make money for the business owners and investors. Jobs within a business exist to serve that primary objective. If a business owner identifies ways to improve the bottom lime (i.e. primary objective), he is free to do whatever is legally permissible to do so.
