I know about right-to-work states. I don't know if you're being sarcastic. Please tell me if you are.

You still have a contract - you signed it when you took the job, unless your employer hopes you come into work, and you hope that, in the event that you do, he pays you. If you work for any part of the government, you bet your bippy that you're doing so with a contract.

It's what tells your employer how much he's to pay you. It's what tells you what your responsibilities are to get that payment. It's what allows you to sue your employer for breach of a contract in the event that they don't fire you, but don't pay you either. It might very well be that your contract includes a clause that says, "Greg can be fired at any time for any reason," but it's no less a contract for this reason. It's a legally-binding piece of paper that represents the agreement between you and your employer.

The difference between your contract and a union contract is that the union uses its group status as leverage to negotiate a different contract for a group, instead of you using your individual leverage (along with all your skills, etc.) to get an agreement for yourself, only.
