That depends on your employer and whether you consider losing your job 'forcing' you

I think the rhetoric was “taking away your livelihood isn’t forcing you, you always have the choice to comply and rejoin society.”
Clearly coerced. What is that choice?
You have always option to starve to death. Isn't that freedom?
If you're unlucky enough to end up among the whole 3% of us that really can't find a job, you aren't going to starve. At any rate it's hardly reasonable to expect you should be able to refuse to comply with your terms of employment and not suffer any negative consequences.
