FAQ – What’s a Right To Work Law?
A Right to Work law guarantees that no person can be compelled, as a condition of employment, to join or pay dues or “fees” to a labor union.
Such a law also reaffirms and strengthens the existing federal labor-law provisions that bar (prevent) hiring discrimination against non-union members. Section 14(b) of the Taft-Hartley Act affirms the right of states to enact Right to Work laws.
Currently 27 states have passed such laws.
