[QUOTE="Astispumanti, post: 966280, member: 39975"] If you live in a right to work state, you are not required to join the union. For a part timer it is really not worth it. They take way too much money out of a small pay check for dues. What a RTW state means "[h=2]What Right to Work Means[/h][LEFT][COLOR=#333333][FONT=verdana][FONT=inherit]The U.S. right to work legal principle is sometimes confused with that of [URL="http://jobsearchtech.about.com/library/weekly/aa092402.htm"]employment at will[/URL] or it simply doesn't mean what some think it does.
