Texas is, in fact, a Right to Work state. You cannot be forced to join a union to hold a job. Not really sure what that has to do with anything mentioned here.

Disagree due to context of this topic doesn't concern union membership:
AFAIK, The Office of Atty Genl Opinion calling it a "right to work State" only as far as it concerns Union membership; In other words, you can not be fired for joining a Union, or due to race religion, national origin ... other Federal restrictions


Texas is an “employment-at-will” state.

Texas is an “employment-at-will” state. Generally, employees without a written employment contract can be fired for good cause, bad cause, or no cause at all.

^^^ This applies to the discussion.

Right to work is specifically for Union related issues. Hence, my confusion. I looks like the intended term was Employment-at-Will which is a different issue all together but does apply to the problem of carrying and getting terminated for that.

The following is off-topic so I apologize and will refrain from further posts that are. However, this is some interesting stuff to learn.
Have a read on the link I posted. Texas is a Right to Work state in the full definition of the term. (i.e. Cannot be forced to pay union dues or join a union to gain or keep employment nor prevent you from joining a union with the threat of non-employment or loss of current employment.) It all relates back to the Taff-Hartly act of 1947. More detail on that here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right-to-work_law" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
