All we need now is for generally disliked to become a protected class.

I'm fine with workers as a whole receiving more explicit protections as a class.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t that called “right to work”?

Nope, "right to work" just means that you aren't forced to join the union.

As far as I can tell, "right to work" means "you can quit any time for no reason, and we can fire you any time for no reason, and we're going to pretend that this is an equal trade."

That's called "at-will" employment. Right to work is specifically about not having to join a union or pay dues.
