No? The business owner should have the right to fire them for refusing to work. That doesn't change the rights of the cab drivers to refuse to work.

Just because you have the right to do something doesn't mean you are free from the consequences of your actions even if you have the right to pursue those actions.

This is exactly right. The drivers have every right to refuse to work with those ads displayed and the owners can fire them for it.

What people don't understand is when there are protests and public outcry against actions like these. That is also the public's right. Just like with the Mozilla CEO. If the public doesn't like it, the business suffers and people get fired. That's free enterprise. Nothing wrong with it.

What company in the US do you know where you don't have the right to quit when you want for personal reasons? This is fairly standard right? I'm at work presently and I could walk out the door now if I wanted to for any reason.
