Describe two union security provisions that organizations commonly provide.

What will be an ideal response?


A major concern of union representatives when bargaining is the negotiation of union security provisions, contract clauses that help the union obtain and retain members and collect union dues. One type of union security clause in labor contracts is the no-layoff policy, or job security guarantee. Such a provision is especially important to many union workers because of all the mergers, downsizings, and job reductions taking place. However, management is often unwilling to consider this type of provision.Another union security provision is requiring union membership of all employees, subject to state right-to-work laws.Another common union security provision is the dues checkoff clause, which provides for the automatic deduction of union dues from the payroll checks of union members, thus enabling employers to transfer dues to unions through one comprehensive payment. The dues checkoff provision makes it much easier for the union to collect its funds, and without it, the union must collect dues by billing each member separately.
