An at-a-glance Chart listing the states with right-to-work laws. Right-to-work laws generally limit an employer's and union's ability to negotiate for union security clauses in collective bargaining agreements (CBA) that require union membership or union dues or fees payments as a condition of maintaining employment. This Chart lists the states with right-to-work provisions in their constitutions and right-to-work statutes. This chart covers private sector employers outside of the railroad or airline industries. This resource does not address local laws.
