Right to work states vs. non-right to work states

[szccdw]

Can someone please explain to me what it means if you are in a right to work state. I keep seeing so many references to this in so many posts. What are the pros and cons of living in a right to work state. HELP PLEASE........................EXPLAIN???????????????

Right-to-work states include:

Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Nebraska, Nevada, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, & Virginia, but there are still unions representing nurses in all of them.

And nurses in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Kansas, Nevada, North Carolina, Utah, and Wyoming have become part of the national RN labor union - the United American Nurses, AFL-CIO anyway. In spite of their state being "right to work" & "anti-union".
