    That’s the whole fucking point. The name sounds like its a good thing though, right? So I’m sure that means it’s good…

    But no, “Right to Work,” just means that employees are allowed to choose not to pay union dues (or even partial dues), despite receiving all of the benefits of being in that collective bargaining bloc. This is meant to starve the union and eventually kill it.

    If a workplace unionizes, all employees at that level become part of the same collective bargaining bloc (by necessity), and the union will protect them and bargain on their behalf. If you want to work in that position, you have to be a member of the union at some level (unless you are a government employee since the Janus SCOTUS decision).

    “Right to work” is provided under the guise of giving the employee more freedom, but in reality, it is just an underhanded way of killing unions.

    Probably just made it more confusing but hopefully not.
