If a union can't form an exclusivity agreement with a company, then all exclusivity agreements between any type of organization should be banned. That would be true freedom of association.

Right-to-work laws just take away the right of workers to negotiate on the same terms that businesses do.




Oh no, I think they should have the right to negotiate an exclusivity agreement. And if the business takes it, so be it. I don't think they should be allowed to impose that agreement on the business through law.

When you come here, I will scab you, and picket them if they consider signing exclusivity with you. And that's okay. You can picket them for the opposite and eventually one of us will win.


I am unaware of any way for a union to compel a business to become exclusive without an agreement as described here[1]. Can you provide a citation for this?
