In a modified union shop, workers are not required to join the union to be employed, but those who do choose to join must pay union dues. This arrangement allows for both union and non-union members to work within the same workplace, providing some flexibility while still supporting the union's financial stability. Typically, the union negotiates contracts that apply to all employees, regardless of their membership status.
There are several reasons not to join a union. People can be fired for no reason, however union workers often have better wages and more benefits.
The TUC is a trade union that stands for the rights of workers. The intentions of them is to look after workers when they need help, for example when facing redundancy.
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.

A trade union (British English) or labor union (American English) is an organization of workers who have banded together to achieve common goals such as better working conditions. The trade union, through its leadership, bargains with the employer on behalf of union members (rank and file[1] members) and negotiates labour contracts (collective bargaining) with employers. This may include the negotiation of wages, work rules, complaint procedures, rules governing hiring, firing and promotion of workers, benefits, workplace safety and policies. The agreements negotiated by the union leaders are binding on the rank and file members and the employer and in some cases on other non-member workers.
Some of the disadvantages of being in a trade union include having to deal with blanket treatments for an industry. Some of the decisions made by the trade union may be in the best interest of the whole industry but not of an individual farm.
In recent decades, trade union membership has generally experienced a decline in many developed countries, particularly in the United States and parts of Western Europe. This trend is attributed to factors such as globalization, changes in labor markets, and the rise of gig economy jobs that often lack union representation. Conversely, some regions, particularly in emerging economies, have seen an increase in union membership as workers seek collective bargaining power to improve working conditions. Overall, while union membership is declining in some areas, it remains a vital force in advocating for workers' rights in various contexts.
