Your irregular reminder that:
1. "Right to work" and "at will" are different concepts.
2. "Right to work" just changes some details about bargaining, it doesn't change your ability to join or form a union. Nor does it change your rights to organize in any way.
3. "At will" has a great many restrictions on it from an employment perspecive. They cannot legally fire you for half the things I see people saying they can legally fire you for.

@hrefna @CosmicTraveler Unfortunately here in Arizona the key phrase to remember is “Right to Work and the employer can hire and fire at will”. Funny little twist there.

@hrefna From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/At-will_employment :
"... at-will employment is an employer's ability to dismiss an employee for any reason, and without warning, as long as the reason is not illegal (e.g. firing because of the employee's gender, sexual orientation, race, religion, or disability status)."
Employers have very broad discretion to fire people who have been hired under at-will employment.

@bhahne I'm a former union steward, I have far more resources on this than a wikipedia page, which also does not contradict what I said in the slightest.
Is there a reason you are deciding to cite wikipedia (of all things) to me?

Yep, exactly, that's broadly what they come down to. There are a set of what are called "union security clauses" that are normally a topic for negotiation in bargaining and it forbids them. Taking the union dues automatically from the check is an example.
