The meaning of Right to Work

I have a question. Although I understand the concept of Right to Work in the context of a person's right to work without being forced to join a union, often people say that in Right to Work states it means that the employer can fire you for no cause. What does the one have to do with the other?? And where does it say in the "Right to Work" legislation that this actually enables employers to fire for no reason? If anyone knows the answer to this, please let me know, because I don't see the connection and I believe I have just been wrongfully terminated (and I work in a Right To Work state). Thanks.
