Right to work actually is a restriction of contract law; that's why the name is so misleading. It's one of those Right Wing call-something-the-exact-opposite-of-what-it-actually-means type of phrases (think "Clear Skies" or "Healthy Forests" Initiatives from the W days). What right to work laws say is that companies are barred from signing contracts with unions that (a) allow for union dues to be extracted from the company directly, and (b) that make union membership mandatory. Again, it's a law that tells private parties what they CANNOT do with civil contracts.
