Union shops are subject to potential competition

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Union shops may face competition from replacement or substitute workers who are willing to work for lower wages or without the benefits provided by the union. This can put pressure on the union and its members to negotiate better contracts and maintain a competitive advantage in the marketplace. While some union shop workers may refuse to join the union, this is not typically a major source of competition. Similarly, most union members take strikes very seriously and use them as a tool to negotiate better contracts and protect their rights.
