Congratulations to Missouri. It was past time that Right to Work as a scam promoted by the corporate side was exposed. They lost a lot of money advertising for the No side.

Forcing someone to join a union or pay dues even if they don't is extortion.

To about the same extent those claiming they didn't vote for Trump but are forced to tolerate him as their President?

Right to work = Right to get fired.

I get the idea of liberty but since workers rely on a steady income to live, I believe the government should regulate when and why businesses can fire their employees. Libertarians will scream at me, but that's the way I feel.

A union forced under the law to represent a worker who chose not to give a dime to the union is extortion. If you are opposed to the existence of labor unions, then try to have the good sense to stay out of a unionized workplace.

So you like people mooching off systems they don't pay into, eh?

Im not a union supporter but; The state shouldn't be dictating to a private company who it can make a contractural agreement with (labor unions).
The other side of that is that unions shouldnt be allowed to blockade a business from operating and hiring replacement workers when unionized employees walk off the job.

You’d have a point IF it were true that folks who don’t want to pay the dues to help hire union negotiators, establish a strike fund, and hire union reps also refused to take the negotiated salaries and benefits and did not use the reps to help resolve issues.

But that isn’t what happens, so you have no point.
