Small corrdction, that's 'at will' not 'right to work'. Right to work is about being able to force you to join a union to work at a place.

- Der_Einzige 4y agoAnd, I thought basically all states were at will, except sort of Montana?
- TylerE 4y agoCorrect
- stonogo 4y agoAt-will is per job and most states allow that sort of arrangment: https://www.ncsl.org/research/labor-and-employment/at-will-employment-exceptions-by-state.aspx https://www.ncsl.org/research/labor-and-employment/at-will-e... Right-to-work is a specific anti-union campaign: https://www.nrtw.org/right-to-work-states/ https://www.nrtw.org/right-to-work-states/
- rootusrootus 4y ago> Right to work is about being able to force you to join a union to work at a place Isn't it more accurately described as forcing a union to give you the negotiated benefits without requiring you to pay dues? I don't think anybody, on either side of the issue, is under any illusions, it is intended to break unions.
- simcop2387 4y agoHonestly I'm not entirely sure, possibly because it probably varies by state. My understanding was that the main thing it did was make it so that you didn't have to join the union and pay dues to them to be able to get a job at a workplace. I'm not sure if it requires that you get the same benefits or not but I'd definitely agree the intent is to cripple union's bargaining power and resources.
- JadeNB 4y agoYou are right; thank you. (And that is not such a small correction, since I did not just use the wrong phrase, but used a phrase that means something totally different in the same domain.) I am now outside the edit window, so unfortunately cannot fix it.
