And I live in a right to work state!

Right-to-work is the work-for-welfare program. I would imagine it would have no impact on people who aren't applying for social services.

I'm assuming the overlap between right-to-work and at-will-empmloyment states is a near perfect circle, though. And the fun thing about at-will employment is that it's totally nullified by an actual, mutually negoatiated employment contract, with, like, responsibilities laid on the employer and consequences for failing to perform them. You know, like what you get with a strong union.

49 states are "at will"

"right to work" aka fuk ur union boy is limited to southern degeneracy along with maybe Michigan.

It’s meant to emphasize the power of SAG-AFTRA not endorse my region’s regressive work/social policies.

I think they were saying “and this is in spite of me working in a ‘right-to-work’ state”

I think this is the right-to-work they were referring to: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right-to-work_law. It’s a type of law that undercuts unions by preventing shops from requiring union membership for employment.
