No, because they use the same tactics of intimidation.

a quick check on wiki shows that pay, health benefits and pensions are all lower in RTW states.

so why does anyone want this system, other than to exploit the workers?

May be a good thing as companies who fear the outragous exspense of union employees and coruption will now locate there given the location,infrastructure,existing plants and an available workforce.Pay a fair wage and things look pretty good for all

The ability to withhold work is the only bargaining chip a worker has - what you call "intimidation". Maybe you should be punching a clock...

This basically sums up the "agenda" for the right to work advocates and the numbers after states adopt this idealogy.
Dosen't really look like a brighter future..

People don't have a right to work in California - not only do the Democrats drive jobs out of state and ensure high unemployment with their disastrous tax and spend policies, the union thugs who are in bed with the Demorats control this once "Golden State" - which has since turned to dross since ignorant people have elected liberals.
