Edit: I’m mixing up a at will employment with right to work. Sorry for the confusion. See updated comment below:
Right to work: Joining a union and paying union dues can no longer be a requirement of employment. This slowly degrades the power of the union and ultimately reduces wages and benefits of the workers
Right to work At will employment is: A right to be fired at any point for any reason or no reason at all
The goal is to get around any union protections that require things like a legitimate reason to be fired from a job.
It also has the added bonus of drastically reducing the benefits of unions and making them much easier to prevent.
And how organizers make up cutesie names to name their treehouse clubs after.
Oathkeepers. Truthers. 1776’ers. American Freedom Party. Patriot Front. It just goes on and on. All of them bullshit, all of them are blanketed bigots, racists .etc bastardizing the names with what they think ‘freedom’ is all about.

No union I’ve ever been part of required me being in it in order to work at a place. It was always optional. So strange.
Are you in a right to work state? That might be why, at least in Oregon when I got a job as a cashier it automatically made me a part of the union.
I love how we name laws that really mean the exact opposite of what their name implies. Very american.

The way I try to remember it is that it comes from the employers perspective:
Being fired for any or no reason is at will employment.
Right to work has nothing to do with that. It’s about allowing people to not pay union dues. Those people are still protected by the union contract.
You’re right. I updated the comment
I mix these two up as well - thanks for the clarification.
You’re conflating “at will employment” with “right to work” laws.
