Weird ? - anyone know anything about "right to work"?

I've been tasked with finding out the legal term that is opposit of "right to work."  Like any good lawyer, I'm asking the nest (haha!) 

Does anyone know what the non "right to work"states are called?  Is there a term?  Thanks!

Re: Weird ? - anyone know anything about "right to work"?

  • At the company level, a business that is the opposite of 'right to work' is called a 'closed shop'. But I don't know that there's a term for it at the state level.
  • "states with halfway decent union laws"?

    I keed. I keed...

     

    I've only ever seen things like "non-RTW states".  Sorry.

    But full-on closed shops were outlawed by Taft Hartley.

    I know, but it's still the opposite of RTW even though they don't exist in the US. The closest thing left (IMO) is the entertainment industry (IATSE shops & SAG for example).

  • There's some discussion here that it might be either "agency shop (states)" or maybe "maintenance of membership."  Do either of those ring a bell?

  • 'Maintenance of membership' sounds familiar, also maybe look at 'fair share provision'

    I think agency shop is the same as closed shop.

  • I believe "At Will".

    At will is about grounds for termination, not union membership.

    Nah, that's different.  Nothing to do with Unions.

    That's what we call ourselves.  We're fighting HARD to not become a RTW state.  It drops the wages down so much it's scary.

  • Wikipedia says 'forced unionism' states is a term if you're pro RTW and "free collective bargaining' states if you're opposed. That's a good source, right. Stick out tongue


  • Employment At Will.

    I came to the thread to suggest "collective bargaining states," so this sounds right to me.

  • Thanks everyone.  It's a little confusing, but I believe the correct term is "agency shops."  Anyway, thanks!
