Right-to-work laws: measures that prohibit mandatory union membership, therefore limiting the number of unions and, as a result, their power. Right-to-work legislation may be one of the numerous factors contributing to the recent fall in union membership.
These laws are designed to protect workers' rights to choose whether or not to be part of a union without facing any pressure. By making union membership voluntary, right-to-work laws give employees more freedom in their job decisions and can affect how unions operate and their influence in the workplace.
