      In the context of labor law in the United States, the term “right-to-work laws” refers to state laws that prohibit union security agreements between employers and labor unions which require employees who are not union members to contribute to the costs of union representation.

      That’s so fucking confusing…

      Unlike the right to work definition as a human right in international law, U.S. right-to-work laws do not aim to provide a general guarantee of employment to people seeking work but rather guarantee an employee’s right to refrain from paying or being a member of a labor union.

      Okay, little less muddier now. The whole vibe is quintessential USA—some dodgy law with a misleading name.
