jm.,
I also live in Tennessee. I've never been a member of any union, ever, so you very well may know the ins and outs of labor laws in Tennessee better than I do.
My understanding is that Tennessee is a "Right to Work" state that simply means that, except in unusual circumstances, you can't be forced to join a union. Teachers in the public school systems, for example, can opt out of the teachers' unions, but when they do so, they are still required to pay a reduced fee to the union. They can't participate in union meetings and they are not eligible for union benefit programs, but they don't have to pay the full annual dues.
Tennessee is also an "At Will" employment state. I understand this to mean that an employer can hire or fire anyone for any reason. Certainly, Federal anti-discrimination laws apply, but for regular old employees doing regular old work, the employer has the final say on who comes, who stays, and who goes, "At Will".
You might know much more about this, but that is my understanding.

Flax provided the fibre which w
