| | Union shop - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | A union shop is a place of employment where the employer may hire either labor union members or nonmembers but where nonmembers must become union members within a specified period of time or lose their jobs. |
 | | Other forms of union security include an agency fee arrangement, which requires employees to pay an agency fee, but not to join the union, and maintenance of membership, which requires those employees who are union members to maintain their membership, but does not compel non-members to join or pay dues to the union. |
 | | In addition, a check-off agreement, in which an individual employee authorizes the employer to deduct union dues from his or her paycheck unless the agreement expires or is revoked, may function as a form of union security in some circumstances, even in right-to-work states, by holding a worker to a commitment to pay dues. |
