North Carolina is a Right to Work state
Enacted in 1947, North Carolina’s Right to Work law prohibits "closed shop" union agreements. An employer may not require an employee to join a union, nor may an employer require an employee to refrain from joining a union. Employees who work in North Carolina (except those who work on federal property or for a railway or airline) have a right to resign from union membership and not pay union dues or fees. The unionization rate for North Carolina workers is among the lowest in the nation. To read the North Carolina Right to Work law in its entirety, Click Here.
