RE: Big Temporary Networks

The trick is that there is no "right to work" if you are a guest at the
hotel.  You have no right to work on their property without their
consent.  In reality, the hotels do not want union headaches so that is
the way it goes.

Right to work only is in effect if an employer hires me and I do not
want to join the union.

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,''
