Right-to-Work deals with the right of non-union represented people to work at places at which the workers are unionized.
Right, my bad (I'm heavily distracted by the football), I meant "at-will". Now, even in at-will states, they can't fire you for any federally-protected reason (religion, sexual orientation, OLD age (bah humbug for us young guys), race, and blah blah blah like that), and they can't establish a pattern of firing people in protected categories for ostensibly non-protected reasons, but if the Giants beat the Redskins today, my boss could legally fire me tomorrow for being a Giants fan (she likes the Redskins), and that's an even more absurd reason than firing someone for riding a bike to work.
