It's well-established by public polling that opposing Right to Work is just about as unpopular of a stance as a politician could possibly take.
However, some State Representatives may have found a way to make voting for forced unionism even less appealing -- by lying about it at election time, and then voting for forced unionism anyway. This particular type of politician is sometimes called a "pledgebreaker", and -- unsurprisingly -- such behavior tends to be resented by their constituents.
