Right to Work
Right-to-work refers to certain laws at the state level in the U.S. that impact unions, employers, and collective bargaining. Right-to-work states/areas govern whether or not employees are required to join a union in order to gain employment, or whether unions can or cannot require membership among a workforce.
What Small and Midsize Businesses Need to Know About Right to Work
Most small businesses won't encounter any right-to-work or union issues unless they have a unionized workforce. Businesses almost always prefer working in right-to-work states or localities, as it allows allowing a business more control over labor practices.
