I was actually thinking of the distinction between closed shop union environments and non-union environments, not between 'closed' and 'right to work' union environments. But, I'm glad you brought up the 'freeloader' designation as I'm curious if you would apply it to other areas where people enjoy a mandated benefit without paying their fair share into a system, maybe in some aspects of expanded Medicaid?
