I dont really understand whats wrong with "Right to work". Why does everyone in a union shop have to be in the union? Even if the union does a bad job for you, its basically impossible to get rid of the union. The problem I see with a non "Right to work" state is that once a union is established it has little need/desire to actually represent its employees because members cannot leave. The union has a monopoly of sorts on "representing" the employees and establishes a confrontational attitude with management in order to justify its own existence.
