Legal status
Union security agreements are explicitly mentioned in the labor laws of many countries. They are regulated by law and in the United States and in the United Kingdom. In Canada, the legal status of the union security agreement varies from province to province and at the federal level, with a few provinces permitting but not requiring it but the majority of provinces (and the federal government) requiring it if the union requests it.
