"Ultimately, the name is a misnomer. “Right to work” isn’t as much about
your right to work as it is about limiting your right to collectively
bargain. These laws, and related ones, aim to stop workers from
collectively bargaining. While some similar laws simply outlaw
collective bargaining, right to work laws make it illegal to collect
fees from non-members to cover the costs of bargaining. That, in turn,
harms a union’s ability to collectively bargain by limiting its
resources." SEIU 1984
