In the United States, and many other nations, workers are allowed to freely choose whether to join a labor union or not. In some states in the US workers cannot be forced to join labor unions. These so called "right to work laws" prohibit unions from requiring that workers become union members as a condition of employment. In some states, workers must become a member of that union, that has negotiated a collective bargaining agreement, or lose their job. Today, even non union workers, have received the benefits that labor unions have gained for their members, like safe working conditions, better pay, pension plans, and health insurance. In some dictatorial nations, like China and North Korea, labor unions are either banned or controlled by the government.
