Complete Question:
Simon, who is philosophically opposed to unions, often says, "Why should I be required to join an organization I don't agree with, or pay a fee to support it financially? I thought this was a free country, but I don't feel very free when I'm told that I'll lose my job if I don't join the union. It just isn't fair." Simon's comments suggest he favors a(n) __________ shop arrangement.
Multiple Choice
A. closed
B. open
C. regulated
D. certified
Correct Option:
Simon's comments suggest he favors an open shop arrangement.
Option: B
Explanation:
Here Simon supports open shop because it implies as a location of getting jobs, where as a requirement of recruiting or continuing jobs, an individual is not pressurized to join or financially support a union (here it mean closed shop).
The biggest distinction between an open and closed shop is the criterion for participation of the union. There are a number of views on the pluses and minuses of open shops. The United States "labor law" forbids the open shop in its severe form as it restricts employers in the private sector from attempting to recruit workers as they are union members.
