http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right-to-work_law ''A "right-to-work" law is a statute that prohibits union security agreements, or agreements between labor unions and employers that govern the extent to which an established union can require employees' membership [...] as a condition of employment. Right-to-work laws exist in twenty-three U.S. states,'' Regards, Bill Herrin -- William D. Herrin ................ her...@dirtside.com b...@herrin.us 3005 Crane Dr. ......................
