I can see how right-to-work laws undermine that gravitational "pull". But do you reject the possibility of legitimate reasons for wanting to benefit from union wages but not be part of the union itself? Political reasons, for example: unions may make campaign contributions to candidates the worker does not support, or they may hold positions that worker finds abominable (personally, the anti-immigrant stance and rhetoric of some prominent unions makes me sick). I can see why freeloading is unfair; but it seems equally unfair for a worker to be denied a more liveable wage for political reasons.
