Having any specific job isn’t a basic freedom. You aren’t entitled to a paycheck from anyone.
I’m not saying having a job is a freedom. What happens when every job includes a clause that says “you can’t sue us, no matter what.” Because most of the contracts that you sign already say that. Every Cellular service does. Most factories do. I work in software and pretty much every gig I’ve ever worked included something along those lines.
It’s not always enforcable, but this kind of thing inches us closer.
Sounds like a good reason to not take those contracts. If enough people find the terms to be bad and refuse them, companies ultimately have to change the terms if they want employees.
Most countries have pretty strict laws about protected characteristics that you can’t sack people over and getting pregnant is one, regardless of how it happens.
