"Right to work laws" don't do anything to protect you right to work.

You've always been free to not work at a union shop.

RTW laws restrict the kinds of agreements business and labor may enter into - that is it.

They are nanny government regulation at its finest - and anyone who supports them is a big government teat sucker who needs his nanny government to tell his boss what kinds of contracts he is allowed to sign.

i don't agree with RTW

i don't agree with union shop laws

the decisions should be left up to employers and employees, without any government influence

So you favor allowing closed shops?

Then why do workers in union states have to pay a penalty not to be in a union?

If you want to work for an employer, you should not be forced to join the union.

Probably zero. Its highly unlikely a union would try to negotiate an ILLEGAL contract, its kind of a waste of time. Go drink some fricking Brawndo and go to bed.

if the owner wants to make the (terrible) decision to only hire union labor, that mistake should be left up to the owner

This confuses me. So the worker can choose a different place to work because they aren't pleased with a company's union policy, but they can't choose a different place to work because they aren't happy with the birth-control restrictions of a private company's religious affiliation.

Which one is it?

The latter simply isn't true.

Why shouldn't that be up to the employer to decide what his conditions are? That would be true freedom.

Sounds like you're picking winners.

SO you are conceding the point that RTW never caused a union contract, so why do you need a fricking constitutional amendment to protect unions?

Home Depot has been involved in more than one court case. You'll need to be more specific.
