Assess union shops from the moral point of view. What conflicting rights, interests, and ideals are at stake?

THE NAT IONAL RIGHT TO WORK LEGAL Defense Foundation is one of several anti-union organizations that have been active in recent years. The “right to work,” in this context, means the alleged right of an individual to work without being obliged to join a union or pay union dues. To put it the other way around, it means that companies cannot sign contracts with unions agreeing to hire only workers who are willing to join the union or at least to pay the equivalent of union dues.
