http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right-to-work_law

''A "right-to-work" law is a statute that prohibits union security
agreements, or agreements between labor unions and employers that
govern the extent to which an established union can require employees'
membership [...] as a condition of employment. Right-to-work laws
exist in twenty-three U.S. states,''
