I live on the North Carolina border. Although most of the factories on my side of the border have already closed because of NAFTA, there are still some across the border in NC. My uncle for example works at a Koch bros factor near Stoneville. I hear a lot of NRTW Foundation commercials around here, and its rare that people vote for unionization.

Just for clarification, right to work does not protect your right to not be forced to join a union in order to hold a job. The implied right not to associate under the 1st Amendment probably protects that, at least as far as state mandated unionization goes. Right to work says if you exercise your right to not join a union, you can likewise not be required to pay protection money to whatever union or collective bargaining unit may represent other workers at your place of employment. In half of the states, there is automatic payroll deductions for costs unions purportedly incur to "represent" non-union employees. So you can't be forced to join a union, or to participate in union activities, or to fund union activities unrelated to general grievance representation under the Constitution. Right to work laws expand worker rights by saying non-union members may not be required to fund ANY union agency fees.
