open shop
Voluntary membership employer
An open shop is a workplace where union membership is not required for employment.
Workers may join the union or not, at their choice.
The term contrasts with closed shop, where union membership is mandatory.
The factory converted to an open shop after the new labor laws passed.
Employers and anti-union advocates often favor open shop arrangements.
