An employment contract that infringes on an individuals RKBA's to & from work is against Constitutional 'public policy'.

No it is not. Anyway, your point is moot since the rules here do not infringe on an individual's RKBA's to & from work.

Fine example of an employment relationship that is completely consensual.

You can quit at any time, your boss can fire you at any time. How is this not completely consensual.

An employer violates the Constitution by in effect prohibiting its employees from having firearms while driving to and from work

How did the employer here prohibit its employees from having firearms while driving to and from work? I didn't see that in the article.

You 'see' what you want to see:

" ---- in Oklahoma, as across much of rural America, gun control is seen as the work of naive and meddling minds.

"Having a gun is no different from having a hammer. It is just a tool," said Jerry Ellis, a Democratic representative in the state legislature who drafted and pushed through the law.
- A law allowing employees to keep guns in locked cars on company property.

Several companies are trying to block the law.

Paul Viollis, the president of Risk Control Strategies, is appalled at the new law. Every week there are 17 murders at the work place across America, and most of them involve guns, he says.
"It's the most irresponsible piece of legislation I've seen in my 25 years in the business," he said. "I would invite anyone who'd allow people to bring firearms to work to write the first death notice.

"The argument that emp-loyees should be allowed to bring firearms to work because they'll be locked in the car is so absurd it barely merits a response."
