Should membership in an outside organization (a union) be allowed to be a condition of employment?
If you say yes in the case of unions, would it be OK to mandate membership in say, the Knights of Columbus as a condition as well? If not, what is the difference between the two requirements?

I believe there should be no qualifications for occupying a position high or low that do not relate to the job. Whether or not you belong to a union should NOT be a consideration as to hire you or not.
And employer cannot refuse to hire someone because of race, creed, or color. Why should anything else be different?

Right to work laws should be implemented in EVERY state. Being required to join a union screws anybody who will not RETIRE from that union. For instance, if you are a college student who is getting a job just for the summer, and the job you get is a union shop, without right to work laws they can LEGALLY REQUIRE you to join the union otherwise you WILL be fired. For a person like this, they will draw "union dues" and fees from all your checks and if this employment is temporary you will end up quitting to go back to school BEFORE you can enjoy any of the union benefits.
You will basically be subsidizing the high union costs for the permanent employees if you are a temporary employee.
This is a SCAM! Right to work laws are OUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT!
