Conservatives should not support most Right to Work laws. They are anti-free market because they interfere with what should be viewed as the sacrosanct nature of voluntary contracts.
The only "right to work" law conservatives should support are those that are specifically crafted such that it prevents future contracts (i.e. union bargaining agreements) from ever preempting preexisting contractual obligations (i.e. contracts with workers which exist prior to a later collective bargaining agreement). This isn't really even a right to work law in the traditional sense of the word, and more of a reinforcement of the preexisting treatment of contracts as an obligation, which to varying degrees federal and state labor laws have managed to undermine.
