It's laughable to think that having your passport taken is considered "freely" working.

You should explain exactly how these drivers are not free before arguing to take their freedom of work away.

Your central error is in assuming that people work because they want to ("freely"), rather than because they have to.

If you can't understand why people have to work, I don't think I can help explain that.

That’s so vague as to be meaninglessness. Everyone has to work to provide for themselves.
