There are actually lots of legally binding agreements that do just this, so the fact that the law is used to enforce an agreement vs. the law directly stating it doesn't really have much material difference.
- joshuamorton 5y agoThere are also lots of legally binding agreements that require that I pay more than $1500 per month in rent. The law can be used to enforce these agreements. Even still, the claim that "This is about laws which force [tenants to pay a minimum rent if they want to live in a particular location]" would be silly. I think the metaphor holds and GGPs claim is equally silly.
- whimsicalism 5y agoFirst - they would only have to pay agency fees. Second - employment is at-will, if you no longer agree with the contract you are free to quit at any time. The law is not forcing employees to join a union, the private business entered into a contract with a security clause. "Right-to-work" is around banning businesses from entering into certain voluntary agreements. It has nothing to do with laws requiring employees to join a union, as no such law exists.
