Edited - "at will employment" laws are about to kick Republicans to the curb.

No vaccine. No job. Piss off.

means you can benefit from collective bargaining contracts without paying union dues. "At-will employment" is an understanding of federal employment law that means your employer can fire you for any reason other than being a member of a protected class, or unless you are covered by a contract.
