Right to work, what it should truly be

Right-to-work laws are statutes in a reported 26 states in the United States that are an effort to give employees the right to work without being required or compelled to join to a union. These statutes are not listed under US labor and employment laws as of May 2016, but have been operational with local employment hearing judges for over a half decade. Right-to-work laws were reported in all US states in regard to unemployment insurance hearings in which the employer was seeking to bar the employee from receiving these legal benefits after termination. Public policy exceptions have been devised by attorneys to seek to overturn the broad and unannounced sweep of these laws in the US. Local appellate judges have not indicated that they will allow public policy to be used on behalf of the former employees - most of whom were employees under their health insurance when injured (e.g., mental health parity laws).-wiki

Right now right to work seems to have been defined as something having to do with unions.  But it seems to me that right to work, should be the right to be able to work, the right to have a job if one wants one.   A person shouldn't have to send dozens perhaps hundreds of resumes to potential employers, in hopes some capitalist will take them in and give them the basic resources to exist.   A person should have a basic right to guaranteed employment, and attempts at a transition to employment in their most apt sector if temporary employment is given that is below their qualifications. This right to guaranteed employment if able and willing, this right is what should be called the right to have a job, the right to work.

Society forces new citizens into existence without their consent, it owes them basic rights as human beings.
