It is the equivalent of Red states claiming they are "union free".

There are laws behind most of the "right to work" states. The laws prohibit "closed shop" clauses and prohibit workers being required to pay dues, if they aren't in the union. I have seem some laws that purport to prohibit any third party, like a union, negotiating pay and working conditions on behalf of an individual employee.
