Editing Taft–Hartley Act (section)

===Union security clauses===
{{Main|Union shop}}
The amendments also authorized individual states to outlaw union security clauses (such as the union shop) entirely in their jurisdictions by passing [[right-to-work law]]s. A right-to-work law, under Section 14B of Taft–Hartley, prevents unions from negotiating contracts or legally binding documents requiring companies to fire workers who refuse to join the union.{{citation needed|date=April 2015}} Currently all of the states in the [[Deep South]] and a number of states in the Midwest, Great Plains, and [[Rocky Mountains]] regions have right-to-work laws (with six states—[[Alabama]], [[Arizona]], [[Arkansas]], [[Florida]], [[Mississippi]], and [[Oklahoma]]—going one step further and enshrining right-to-work laws in their states' constitutions).{{citation needed|date=April 2015}}
