  I love how we name laws that really mean the exact opposite of what their name implies. Very american.

      They could have used any of the million other nouns. It’s worse than cheap satire.

  The way I try to remember it is that it comes from the employers perspective:

  • Right to Work employees to death by ignoring unions
  • The employer has the right to fire workers At Will

  Being fired for any or no reason is at will employment.

  Right to work has nothing to do with that. It’s about allowing people to not pay union dues. Those people are still protected by the union contract.

    You’re right. I updated the comment

  You’re conflating “at will employment” with “right to work” laws.

  I mix these two up as well - thanks for the clarification.

  No union I’ve ever been part of required me being in it in order to work at a place. It was always optional. So strange.

    Are you in a right to work state? That might be why, at least in Oregon when I got a job as a cashier it automatically made me a part of the union.

    Then you are in a “right to work” state. And FYI, you still benefit from that union as you are still ostensibly part of the same collective bargaining bloc, and under the same contract, as the union workers.

    So basically you’re getting the benefits of being in a union without having to pay for it. Sounds great, right?

    Great way to get people to leave unions en masse, and starve them of funding.
