If they offered a good deal, folks would willingly choose to join and pay dues. To force one to join is extortion-a sure sign of a terrible product to be offering.
Thankfully, RTW states have grown in quantity, and will continue to do so. That allows folks to choose freely whether they wish to pay or not pay the union, as well as join or not join the union.Our forefathers fought for freedom, and enslaving some by forcing them to pay extortion money to work is shameful.

Just shameful, our founding fathers intended for children to work 12 hour days 6 days a week in unsafe conditions!
Where is my freedom to have lower wages and longer hours?!

Folks to choose freely?
In Republicanland, all workers are the equivalent of a free agent Lebron James and nobody takes the only job they can get.
I would have a lot more respect for the right if they'd just say what they actually believe: that employers should have all the rights and all the power and employees should have no rights, no power and no protections. Instead, we get Orwellian doublespeak like "right to work."
RTW is the way to empower both employee and employer,as no force is involved. Those who wish to be in a union do so, those who do not are free to opt of.Freedom is scary to union folks.

Like too many people you want the good deal but you don't want to pay for it. When you "choose" to work for a unionized company, on the application put down that you want to work there but you don't want the union negotiated pay, benefits, work rules and working conditions, problem solved.

2) Under right-to-work laws, workers reap fewer gains from economic growth. Supporters of right-to-work laws often argue that they'll help attract more businesses to a state. Opponents retort that weakening unions will lead to an erosion of wages. (A large Economic Policy Institute study from 2011 found that, after controlling for a host of factors, right-to-work states have lower wages on average than pro-union states.)
Both arguments might be correct. One careful study conducted by Hofstra's Lonnie Stevans in 2007 found that right-to-work laws do help boost the number of businesses in a state — but the gains mostly went to owners, while average wages went down. "Although right-to-work states may be more attractive to business," Stevans concludes, "this does not necessarily translate into enhanced economic verve in the right-to-work state if there is little 'trickle-down' from business owners to the non-unionized workers."

Two reasons. If the person not paying union dues makes the same wage as the union worker then they are reaping the benefits without paying the cost. If they work for less, they are undermining everything the union works for. So, yeah, they're disliked.
