29. It's your employer's right to work you to death
You have the right to do what you're told, with no say in improving your working conditions.

You have the right to take what you're given, with no collective bargaining to give you fair market compensation for your efforts.

You have the right to try and find another job any time your employer says You're Fired, because you cannot file a grievance or arbitrate against unfair dismissal.

Under Right to Work, you have no rights. You have no one on your side, because Right to Work discourages you and your coworkers from combining your collective power.

If an employer ever says to you, "We treat our workers just as good as the union shops do, so we don't need a union here," remember that union shops set the standards that non-union shops were forced to matched.
