Misnomers/right to work

Wages in states without RtW laws have higher overall wages than states without, and the difference is generally more than the cost of union dues.

The phrase "right to work" (RtW), which generally refers to anti-union laws (aka "right-to-work laws") does not actually guarantee a right to work. What those laws actually do is take away negotiating power from workers and give it to management. It's basically removing a protection from the workers and then saying that this gives the workers a new "right" because now they're free to work without that protection.

This is the same kind of logic which argues that people aren't free unless they are "free" to sell themselves into slavery.
