“Right-to-work does not affect collective bargaining in any way except to take away unions’ ability to fire workers for not paying them. It makes unions accountable to their members.”

Er, no. There is a much more devastating affect from a labor union's perspective. Eliminating the union membership requirement seriously undermines the union seniority system. Seniority is the backbone of the labor union movement. It's how unions enforce discipline within their ranks. Break the seniority system and you've broken the union.
