What does it mean to live in a "Right to Work" state? What it means is that gives the right of every American to work without being compelled to join a union. It also means that unions cannot require workers to pay full dues even if they are working in a union shop. Employees who were part of a union and wish to cancel their union membership are allowed to do without penalty or fear of losing their job. However, nonunion employees who are represented by unions when filing grievances are responsible for paying unions for the portion of time spent representing them. There currently are 24 "Right to Work" states.
"Right to Work" is not to be confused with "At Will" employment.
