Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A union security clause is a clause included in a collective agreement that requires employees to join or pay dues to the union as a condition of employment. The clause can take various forms, such as a closed shop (which requires all employees to be union members), an agency shop (which requires all employees to pay union dues regardless of membership), or a union shop (which requires all new employees to join the union within a certain period). However, the presence or absence of such a clause in a collective agreement is a matter of negotiation between the union and the employer. It is not necessarily part of every collective agreement, and the unionized employees at the Cherryville branch cannot assume that it will be included in theirs. Therefore, statement C is true.
