Statutes that limit or prohibit union membership are called:

Indivisibility-of-labor laws.
Refusal-of-work laws.
Surface-bargaining laws.
Right-to-work laws.
Collective-bargaining laws.

Explanation

Answer: D - Right-to-work laws pertain to union-security agreements, which are the contracts between unions and industry management specifying the degree to which workers can be required to join their respective trade unions and pay the requisite dues. The legislative precedent for right-to-work laws was established by the Taft-Hartley Act of 1947. Right-to-work laws weaken unions significantly. The subject remains hotly debated in contemporary American politics.
