A quick definition of union shop:

A union shop is a type of workplace where employees must be a member of a labor union in order to keep their job. Even if they are not a member when they are hired, they usually have to join within a certain amount of time. The union can ask for an employee to be fired if they refuse to join. However, the union cannot make an employee do more than pay dues. Some states have laws that do not allow union shops.

A more thorough explanation:

A union shop is a type of workplace where employees are required to be members of a labor union as a condition of their employment. This means that if you work in a union shop, you must join the union or risk losing your job.

For example, let's say you get a job at a factory that is a union shop. You will be required to join the union within a certain number of days, usually 30. If you refuse to join, you could be fired.

It's important to note that the union cannot require you to be a "good standing" member, which means you don't have to do more than pay your dues. This payment of dues is part of a union security agreement.

However, some states have "right-to-work" laws that prohibit union security agreements and union shops. This means that in those states, you cannot be required to join a union as a condition of your employment.
