I can't say I like right to work laws, but I think they are necessary so long as unions, which I think are natural and legitimate market phenomenons, are weak

I think you're confusing right-to-work laws with something else. Those prohibit private contracts which require union membership. In effect, they limit the monopoly power of large unions. (?)



To expand on this: The basis of a libertarian argument in favour of right-to-work laws would be that the employer-employee relationship should have just those two parties and be free from outside interference from another party (the union).


You are correct.

I confused right-to-work laws with whatever the opposite "at-will employment" laws are.
