Also, "right-to-work" would violate Section 19 of the Kentucky Constitution, which forbids "impairing the obligation of contracts." But I don't expect the GOP to care about what the Kentucky Constitution says.

Your skills at interpreting constitutional clauses need work.  That's the same language found in Article I Section 10 of the US Constitution and it doesn't hamper right-to-work laws in other states.  At the most, that language means that passing a right-to-work law wouldn't affect any current contract, but it came time to renew or renegotiate that contract, the new agreement couldn't require a union shop.

Yes, but conservatives just ignore the U.S. Constitution.
Whereas progressives just pretend whatever they want to be in there is in there.

The clause you referred to only prohibits the States from changing existing contracts.  It does not prohibit governments from placing limitations on what goes into new contracts.  If it did, child labor would be legal, the minimum wage and the 8-hour day would be illegal.  Are you really saying you'd favor that was the case?
