What is a trade union shop?
Union Shop is a situation where every hired trade union must become a member of this Union. This happens when the company concluded an agreement on collective negotiations by the agreed department in the state where trade trades are legal. While society can hire people who are not units for this work, it is understood that these individuals will join the Union as a condition of their employment. In places where union membership is optional, it is referred to as the right to work. In other words, all individuals have the right to work there regardless of their connection with the department. Those who are in trade unions must join the Union, whether they agree with the principles of this Union within 30 days of hire. The second option that employees have is not to connect to the Union, but still pay the amount of the Union equivalent to fees. Although it does not have to participate in Union's activities, it must pay money and comply with any work agreements and also participate in any strikes. Most in this situationNot to connect, simply because they have at least voting rights.
The main purpose of the Union's trade is to strengthen the position of collective bargaining that, unless otherwise, simply increasing the number and raising money through fees. It is based on the theory that the more numbers the Union has, the greater it has. This should provide a better advantage in terms of negotiations during the collective bargain process.
The concept of trade shops has been used since the central part of the 20th century. That was the Taft-Hartley law banned a closed trade. According to the rules of closed trade, the individual had to be a member of the Union before it could be hired for work in the department. In some cases, this caused the findings of employing difficult, because most members of the trade unions already had a job. When it was forbidden, the concept of trade trade was created as a compromise between amendment of laws and the needs of trade unions.
only in 2009 wasIS among the states of trade unions and states, depending on the right to work policy, even somewhat. The trade union policies were in 28 countries and 22 countries had the right to work. Union Shop states that they have better conditions for workers and will be able to provide better benefits. States with the policy of the right to work face this argument by saying that they are better able to quickly attract new jobs and businesses and easier to adapt to changing needs.
