An agency shop requires that any bargaining-unit employee who is not a union member must pay a service fee to the union for its representation activities. This means that even though the employee is not a member of the union, they are still required to pay a fee for the union's representation services. Unlike a union shop, an agency shop does not require that employees become union members as a condition of continued employment. Therefore, options A, B, and C are incorrect.
