Basic labor terms:

- Closed shop - must be member of union to be hired.

- Union shop - must join union when hired.

- Agency shop - don't have to join union, but have to pay a fee to it.

- Open shop - don't have to join union, but can.

- Yellow-dog contract - not allowed to join union.[1]

The two extremes are mostly illegal in the US.
