Explanation of Solution

Unions are an important part of the system which helps in setting the standards for various aspects for rights of the workers considering their wages and quality of life so that more protection can be provided to the workers.

 Right-to-work laws restrict the labor unions to ask for the union dues from the workers as a condition to be employed who are not a part of any union. It means that the one who is working in a place where there are labor unions formed but the worker isn’t willing to be a part of the union or does not support the union, should not pay for the union dues.

Right-to-work laws play a major role so that the monopoly acts of unions can be avoided in which they force the employers to pay more to the workers even if they aren’t productive. Unions sometimes play a threatening role where the laws need to work for resolving the disputes created.
