This episode of The Job Judge podcast discusses the concept of the right to work in the USA, which is often confused with at-will employment. Right to work means that employees in certain states do not have to pay union dues as a condition of employment. Unionization rates in states with right to work laws are lower than those without, and typically, states that tend to vote Republican have right to work laws. There are 26 right to work states in the USA, and the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation website provides information on the laws in each state.
The Job Judge Podcast is a podcast for anyone who works. This fun engaging program is a must-listen/watch for any manager, business owner, HR professional, or anyone who works. Relying on three decades of experience as an employment law attorney and HR Executive, Karen Michael uses real case studies in the news and navigates through the legal landmines and workplace dysfunction that we know is probably happening right now in your organization.
