    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.

      It is very different in countries with strict employment laws
