I don't think you understand what "Right to work" means in this case. It means
that people have the right to work for an employer - and the employer has the
right to hire them regardless of whether they are a member of a union. It has
nothing to do with forcing an employer to hire that person or forcing that
person to work for an employer. It has nothing to do with whether or not an
employer can fire an employee, though it may make it easier if that employee is
not a member of a union.
The standard argument against Right-To-Work laws is that they allow non-Union
employees to take advantage of the collective bargaining agreements. Ie. they
are free riders.
I'm not entirely sure why you think "Right To Work" means that the employer
cannot choose whether or not to hire you. We all have the fundamental right to
enter into a contract with any willing entity in order to trade our labor for
material wealth. That is, essentially, the right to work. Whether or not anyone
will hire you is a matter of property rights and freedom of association and
doesn't preclude you from your right to work. What we have is a situation where
unions have the power to exclude anyone who is not a union member from working
in a union shop. The employer cannot hire non-union people without breaking the
law.

It does not protect freedom because no person has the freedom to work
for a particular employer. Employers have a right to establish the
conditions of employment because they are the creators of jobs. Nobody
has the right to work for an employer without the employer's consent.
Right to work laws deny freedom.
