What is a Open shop 1920?

Answer 1

According to Webster, the term Open Shop appeared in 1903. It pertains to a place of business in which it is not part of the contract that a worker has to join a union. In fact, in most Open Shops, there are few workers who join unions but the owner may allow a union to hold an election of the employees and if they agree, a union may represent the workers in negotiation with management. Open Shop is different from a Closed Shop. In a closed job, any person wishing to work in that business establishment must either be a member of the Union or join the union once employeed.
