Being fired for any or no reason is at will employment.
Right to work has nothing to do with that. It’s about allowing people to not pay union dues. Those people are still protected by the union contract.
Comment on Will Republicans try another Federal Right to Work attempt?

The goal is to get around any union protections that require things like a legitimate reason to be fired from a job.
It also has the added bonus of drastically reducing the benefits of unions and making them much easier to prevent.

You’re conflating “at will employment” with “right to work” laws.

The way I try to remember it is that it comes from the employers perspective:
- Right to Work employees to death by ignoring unions
- The employer has the right to fire workers At Will

I love how we name laws that really mean the exact opposite of what their name implies. Very american.
