A '''right to work''' law is a provision enacted by a state under Section 14(b) of the federal Taft Hartley Act prohibiting collective bargaining agreements from establishing a "closed shop" where all employees must belong to a union. These laws generally permit an "agency shop" where employees who benefit from a collective bargaining agreement must pay a fair share of negotiating that contract.
