What are the effects of right-to-work laws on union membership?
Contact your local hall and fill out an application for work referral. When called you have to 'test out'. If your qualified the hall will send you to work on 'permit'. After a certain time period on permit you will be initiated into the union.
Right to work laws allow workers to work in a union shop without joining the union. Thereby prohibiting workers to be forced to join a union.
Generally Union participation is up to the particular Union you want to work with. You can call the Union Hall and ask what the requirement to get a contract with them.
The phrase "right to work" is a shorthand used to describe the legal arrangement in some US states that forbids the "union shop" arrangement. Where there is a "union shop"you must be a member of the union or join it upon being hired.
It the simplest terms, right to work laws are laws that prohibit companies and unions from making contracts that require workers to become members of the union in order to work for that company.
Right-to-work laws
You as an employee have the right to move to any company you wish. If a company has a union, you become a member of the union when you start working. You can also join a union where you work right now if you want to be a union member.
In US states that do not have right to work laws and the employee decides he or she does want to join the union associated with the company, the employee must be terminated. The reason for that is that the Union and the company have agreed during their collective bargaining, that new employees must join the union. Conversely, in states that have right to work laws, the union cannot force an employee to be terminated.

"Right to work" movements come (usually from union based) work groups, who are attempting to exercise the right-to-work laws. The right-to-work laws allow workers to benefit from collective bargaining, but withhold dues or agency fees to support the bargaining process.
