Unions are an option for workers in this country, its up to them.

Unfortunately this isn't necessarily true. A worker doesn't have a choice on if to join a union or not. If a worker doesn't want to join a union but enough co-workers do, he will be forced to join regardless of his wishes.

At least in some states, workers have a choice. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right-to-work_law

Rights to work mean nothing if one doesn't have the right not to work.

Correct good sir.

If you get hired on as a warehouseman here at my distro center, you have no choice but to be part of the union. Unless you are looking for a management job which is not unionized, but the again, if you are applying as a warehousman ... hehe.

Of course everyone has the right not to work if they so choose as there is no law permitting slavery. Of course by choosing not to work the forgo the benefit of working (ie renumeration).

There can be no benefit of being employed if one cannot negotiate his/her compensation.
