    Right to work refers specifically to laws that make mandatory union membership illegal. It has absolutely nothing to do with at-will employment, termination, or anything relevant here.

      It does more than that. It lets you quit and be fired at will.

      This doesn’t apply to contractors and gig jobs firing contractors without cause is a breach of contract.

        Again, that is not what ‘right to work’ means. You are talking about ‘at-will’ employment, which is a completely different topic that is essentially unrelated.

        Yes, it’s a deliberately obtuse name.

        Note the “Not to be confused with At-will employment.” bit at the top. This isn’t really a debatable matter, so cheers. Have an enjoyable read.
