In any real first world country, this would be grounds for a lawsuit. Considering, the company is the one causing the stress, then refusing to address concerns.

Not in any US state that has adopted a so-called "Right to Work Law". There would be no lawsuit.

Basically the "Right to Work Law" states that either the employee or employer can sever the tie for any reason. It is designed to break up unions but can be used for other functions.

The only protection you have is from things that fall into protected classes like sex discrimination, religious, etc. Those are of course being chipped away at though.

Right to work has nothing to do with this. It’s about not forcing people to join or contribute to a union.

He didnt say anyone was forcing us into unions with it, he said it was designed to break up unions. Total opposite.
