Ozzy recently started working at a new company. He has been solicited several times to join the union of the company, but he would prefer not to. The union officials tell Ozzy that he won’t be allowed to keep working unless he joins the union. Which of the following is true?

Ozzy’s requirement to join the union depends on his state of employment.
The union officials are pretending they have a closed shop and can’t influence Ozzy’s decision.
The union can’t make Ozzy join the union, but it can require him to pay union dues.
Ozzy must now join the union because union shops are always legal.

Correct answer is: the union can't make Ozzy join the union, but it can require him to pay union dues

Explanation:

A union shop, also called a union security clause, is a provision included in the collective bargaining agreement to ensure union security. It requires employees to belong to or pay dues to the union as a condition of retaining employment.

unions are authorized by statute to collect from non-members only those fees and dues necessary to perform its duties as a collective bargaining representative known as agency fees.Compelling payment of agency fees from non-union employees in the public sector was held unconstitutional in Janus v. AFSCME, in June 2018. The agency fee is that portion of union dues that is attributable to the cost of representing employees in collective bargaining and in providing services to all represented employees, but not, with certain exceptions, to the union's political activities or organizing employees of other employers. Additional restrictions apply to unions covered by the Railway Labor Act (RLA) and unionized governmental employees.
