Nobody can force you to join a union, you have the choice to refuse the job if you have to join a union to get it. That's called a "condition of employment". There are many such conditions, depending on the job of course.

Note too that so called "right to work" laws force the union to represent people who refuse to join it and dictate the non union members make the same money and conditions as the union members. In other words such laws protect freeloaders and deadbeats. Why don't such laws grant the non union worker the right to work for less money than the union members?

Actually most "Right to work" states do not have it written where the union has to represent the non-union employees. If an employee chooses NOT to join the union and doesn't pay union dues, then they are not represented and do NOT have the benefit of union protection like union members do. I have worked in both right to work and other states. NEVER been in an area that the union speaks for non-union members. They like to SAY they do, but they DON'T. The employers are not bound by union contracts in regards to non-union employees. They have the right to pay non-union workers less, but it is done on an individual basis and not part of the collective bargaining agreement that is between the union and the employer.

Not much new to offer.
At Will means an employer does not have to maintain you as a employee and can dismiss you for "no cause".
On the other hand you can bail anytime you want. Notices are nice but not necessary considering.
Google Federal Labor Laws to see the range of exceptions the employer must watch closely. Age, Sex, Discrimination, etc.
