California is not a right-to-work state. Right-to-work laws prohibit employers from requiring you to join a union.

  Right-to-work laws have several consequences. Weakening unions is why companies like them, but invalidating non-compete clauses often comes along. In some places it is actively illegal to write in even an unenforceable non-compete clause. You might be able to get damages after, even when they don't try. Some states are actively hostile to workers. Some are actively hostile to black workers. Only a local lawyer can tell you how things are.

    The law as written is one thing; you still need to consider the law as it is interpreted by the courts and which laws are and are not enforced.

    It's a common myth but so-called "right to work" laws have nothing to do with non-competes.
