You dumbazz. Right to work has nothing to do with forcing anyone to join anything. It's a republican law, to break unions. There is no debate over it. The law simply says you can't make someone pay dues for being a member, and can't deny them benefits if they don't.
No business survives if it gives a product or device for free. Even republican endorsed ones.

Not sure of other states, but in LA right to work means you can't be compelled to join a union. Can't find anything about being entitled to bennies if you don't contribute. But, if someone wants to read LRS Title 23 in it's entirety and prove me wrong then I'll reconsider.

I'd like to read the magazine to see how they word things.

"right to work" may be a republican bill.
And it might be an attempt to break the unions.

Which in my book is reason to vote for it. Unions have become too powerful and they do stupid things. Making people in certain occupations join is one of these stupid things.

Under 'detailed explication of your rights' end of first question. Click here, will take you to the actual law.

I copied a pro-RTW website, should make it easier to understand for the 'anti's' among you.

OK.
Where does it say that an employee will get union benefits without paying union dues.
Because I didn't see that part.

I'm guessing you mean that they would get employer sponsored benefits negotiated by the union?? But, not direct benefits provided by the union to their membership?

Did you read all 8 pages of the law? I can't be discriminated against for not paying dues. Not giving me benefits, and giving someone who pays said benefits is discrimination.
Health & welfare, and pension are part of base pay package, and can't be taken away.
It also helps to know Davis-Bacon, and ERISA laws.

Dues are not part of contract pay package.

Today's unions take too much credit for what an employer offers as benefits.

Company A is union, Company B is not.
They both offer 2 weeks paid vacation after 12 months employment. But company A's unions claims it's a union benefit.

And if the healthcare program is sponsored by the union, then the non-union employee would NOT benefit from the program anyway.

Unions are misrepresenting the implications of this law.

Not many laws are this simple.
This one is: You don't have to join the union regardless of where you work.

You're incorrect about your definition of "discrimination".

I can't be discriminated against for buying a coke at my local 7-11.
But I would have to PAY for that coke.
