what do you think happens to workers at a building when protesters block the gate to leave?

They have to wait.

so they get held captive? until when ? how long do I have to be illegally held captive because your morals disagree with my legal work?

Democracy, and society in general, is messy. It certainly isn't binary.

When legal protest doesn't work, it's sometimes necessary to resort to civil disobedience. That's messy and gray.
