Three union security arrangements differ in what they demand of a worker. Which pairing is correct?
AUnion shop requires joining, agency shop requires a fee
BAgency shop requires joining, union shop requires a fee
COpen shop requires a fee, agency shop requires joining
DUnion shop requires a fee, open shop requires joining
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Union shop requires joining, agency shop requires a fee
1. Rank the three arrangements by how much they demand of a worker.
2. The union shop demands the most, because a hired worker must join the union, normally within 30 to 60 days.
3. The agency shop demands less, because the worker need not join but must pay the agency fee to cover the cost of representation.
4. The open shop demands nothing at all, since the worker need neither join nor pay.
5. Option A matches that ranking exactly for the two arrangements it names.
6. Option B swaps the two, option C credits the open shop with a fee it never charges, and option D has an open shop compelling membership, which would make it not open at all.
