in thread Professional Employees and Works for Hire

Right to work laws aren't deceptively named. As a Texan, I have the right to work without being forced to join a union. I don't want to join a union; the union's chief gripe when they organized it was THAT WE WERE NOT CONTRACT EMPLOYEES AND THEY WANTED US TO BE UNDER CONTRACT. If I'd gotten into that mess, I'd be in the same boat as Tilly. As it is, I am not under contract, which is what I've always wanted, and now what I really want. Unions are not magic pixie dust that always make things better, and I am thankful that I do not have to pay dues to such an organization.
