[[Marketist]]s often argue that mandatory union membership, or mandatory union surcharges, are a violation of the {{l/wp|freedom of association}} guaranteed by the Constitution.

However, this presumes that one is not free to choose not to work at a unionized workplace. While it is certainly true that many people will feel [[economic coercion|economically compelled]] to work at jobs at which they would prefer not to work, the exact ''opposite'' claim is a required premise of the "right to work" argument:
* '''Nobody would choose to work at a job if they didn't want to.'''
* Therefore anyone who works at a non-union job is doing so voluntarily.
* Therefore the fact that non-union jobs have no trouble hiring means that workers see non-union jobs as a good thing.
* Therefore the non-union jobs are a good thing.
* RtW laws prevent employers from requiring union membership or union dues as a condition of employment.
* Therefore RtW laws give people more desirable choices.
* Therefore RtW laws are a good thing.
