Expert Solution & Answer

Explanation of Solution

The freedom of choice seems to be violated by the union shop agreements as the workers if hired are obliged to become the member of the union. In case, the workers do not wish to become a member, the same fees or dues are applicable to all. As, the employment opportunity are a few, this becomes a case of sheer blackmail to pay the unwanted dues. The workers can neglect the association with such unions to get saved from an agreement situation.

The dues that are paid by the workers as per the union shop agreement if known as to where is it spend or its usage is defined by the union cannot be defined as unfair. If the option to join the union is in the hand of worker and the expenditure of fairs are fairly discussed, the workers will not be addressed as unfairly penalized.

Conclusion

Therefore, it can be concluded that the freedom of the workers is violated in a union shop agreement and the workers are not unfairly penalized if the dues are paid intentionally.
