    They are two distinct things. Right to work is the right to work without being required to pay anything to a union. At will employment is the ability to fire you for any reason as long as it isn’t a reason related to be a protected class.

        Your state has both of them. That doesn’t mean they are the same thing. My state is the same way, but the are still two different things

          A point of difference that makes no difference. why obsess over such a trivial point? Especially when both are used in concert to subvert workers benefits and pay. Its almost like you support any kind argument to make people stray from the point.

            Because only talking about one and thinking they are same thing ignores the other one and implies it isn’t a problem. It’s not pointless pedantry when they are distinct policies that are used to depress wages in different ways. Both should be eliminated and that’s why we should acknowledge both and recognize the differences between them.

                Who do you believe I am shilling for? I’m correcting your factual error while agreeing with you in principle that both are bad and used to depress wages and abuse workers. Why are you so upset?
