Taft-Hartley banned the "closed shop," where you must join a union to work at a business, in 1947. You will never be forced to join a union anywhere in the US to work at any given employer.
- ars 6y agoThat's not true. You misunderstand the rules. Google: "closed shop vs union shop" and you will see. Basically you cannot have a business that only hires from a union, but you can have a business that requires you to join a union after being hired meaning the union cannot prevent you from joining them. Or in other words in non-right-to-work states you can be forced to join a union.
- Frondo 6y agoUnder the NLRA, you are never required to join a union. You may be required to pay union dues, and the union will still represent you in collective bargaining, but that doesn't make you a union member.
