I feel like there’s something more missing. We have “right to work” in Belgium. You can’t be forced to join a union or a strike, yet unions are strong here.
Propaganda is the key difference, would be my guess. American’s have had anti-union sentiments shoved down their throats for many many years now.
I grew up in a “right to work” and “at will” state working mostly retail, and I can confirm that most of the break rooms had a poster going over the negatives of unionization.
The “at will” part makes it so the boss can fire an employee for any reason they want, so anybody trying to unionize would be let go for some arbitrary reason if they were found out, anyways.
