Can a Union CBA circumvent Right to Work?
<p>if an employer is in a Right to Work state, Can a union create a contract with an employer that requires the employer only keep union employees on payroll?</p>

<p>The Taft-Hartley Act of 1947 banned <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closed_shop" rel="nofollow noreferrer">"closed shop"</a> union agreements in the USA, which is where an employer agrees to only hire union members and only keep union members on the payroll.</p>

<p>So, <strong>no</strong>.</p>

<p>(though there are examples of unions that are effectively closed shop, and the Wikipedia article gives a few examples)</p>
