For the same reason that MD has outlawed all charter schools.

Looks like the interns at CATO figured out how to start posting. OP is probably a bot, as these are those most shallow arguments for RtW.

Right to work means the right to be a freeloader. You can get the benefits of a union contract without having to pay anything for the union's services that negotiate and enforce the agreement.

It's like if I could get my trash picked up like everyone else on my street but had a "right to trash pickup" that meant I didn't have to contribute and pay my property taxes.
