A union shop is a type of workplace where employees are required to join the union or pay union dues within a certain period after being hired.

Essentially, the union shop mandates membership, while the agency shop allows for non-membership but requires a financial contribution.

Our union contrac was up 3 weeks ago. Our boss wants to cut 15 percent of our pay in the new contract. The shop steward is saying if we go to arbitration we could lose more than 15 percent . Could we?
This is difficult to be certain about. The shop steward is SUPPOSED to be looking out for your interests. However, when he or she says you could lose more than 15% by going to arbitration, it seems illogical (questionable). Why? Well, first of all the boss is saying he wants you to take a 15% cut. In arbitration, the arbitrators job is to recommend a fair solution. It seems unlikely that he would recommend 15% since that is the MOST that your boss is demanding. Fair would seem like no more than 7.5%, if the arbitrator were to go halfway between what your boss is "demanding." I would ask your shop steward more questions, something doesn't quite make sense here. Why would the shop steward say their is a risk of losing more, by going to arbitration, than you would lose by taking the bosses "offer" of a 15% cut? Is it possible that the shop steward is working MORE for the bosses than for you guys? Almost seems like it.
