This is absolutely not true. The amount of remote tech jobs with right to work protection is so close to zero to be a rounding error.

You can sue anyone/company at any time for any reason for like a $20-75$ filing fee. The case will be dismissed if it has no merit but there is no way to stop the filing aka "suing" which is why legal departments exist.

Government jobs are basically it and are again so rarely remote to make it non existent.

I suspect that the reason people think this is that so many companies are brazenly breaking laws that when they fire someone it is easy to sue them.
