Unions have been under attack for decades.
IMO the creation of new unions and the support of existing unions should be facilitated, not disabled by right to work laws.

When there's a strong union voice, there's a strong grass-roots worker level democratic voice too. Already organized, solid.
When workers in a massive capitalist enterprise can't unite in solidarity, they are reduced to being nothing more than tools, having no more rights to their work than tools.
