    Right to work laws have nothing to do with at-will employment, which it what you’re describing. Right to work laws prevent unions from collecting dues from non-union members. That’s all.

    Before anyone jumps on and says right to work laws prevent union shops from requiring membership in a union as a condition of employment, that was the Taft-Hartley act of 1947.

    • ok fair, I meant - via synecdoche - the cluster of (or lack of) employment laws that make things flexible for employers works both ways.

      It is very different in countries with strict employment laws

        Sorry, I’m usually a bit more tactful! I’m not trying to criticize, just inform.
