Answer 1

1.Right to work laws is defined as a replacement or prohibition of union security agreements by the state laws, between labours and companies. Contribution to the cost of union representation is essential and to be attained by the banning of unionised labours from negotiation of contracts requires all the members and workers contribute towards the same.

2. Yes, I'm living in the country which has implemented right to work laws implicitly in the constitution and hope to work as well here.

3. Compulsory membership have been eradicated by this law in the union. Without any pay or dues to union, the employee can enjoy the benefits, with the reasonable pay. So this law ensures the full-fledged working hours and work done. So before the enactment the unions are more Powerful and often leads to misguidance of employees and make trouble to employers.

4. Janus vs American federation of state, county and municipal employees council(2018), was a tremendous turning point in the union history, concerning the power and influence of trade unions to collect dues and fees for the employees who are not belong to the unions. The judgement overturned the such union fees, and added the union fees in the public sector break the amendment of right to free speech.

5. Yeah, definitely the powers of trede unions are going to be restricted and regulated. It is obvious that, the laws are more powerful than the unions. So the trade unions activities are limited and always under law.
