Legal Alert – Right to Work and “Fair Share”
by Gerard Morales
As a general proposition, employees in “right to work” states may not be required to become union members, maintain union membership or pay union fees in order to obtain or retain employment. In “union security” states, on the other hand, employees may be required to become members, retain membership and/or pay union fees in order to obtain or retain employment.
