What is another word for non-union employment?
Pronunciation: [nˈɒnjˈuːni͡ən ɛmplˈɔ͡ɪmənt] (IPA) 
Non-union employment refers to a type of employment where workers are not protected by a labor union, and therefore, do not enjoy the benefits and protections that come with union membership. Synonyms for non-union employment include open shop, non-collective bargaining, non-organized, and union-free. These terms are used to describe workplaces where workers are not required to be members of a union and are hired based on individual contracts. Although non-union employment is legal, union membership often provides better wages, benefits, and job security. In recent years, the number of non-union workers has increased significantly, leading to debates about the role of unions in the modern labor market.
