Under compulsory unionism, however, the union holds the courthouse keys for both the willingly and unwillingly unionized. Because of the increased likelihood of divergent interests between the individual worker and the union in a closed-shop setting, arbitration awards rendered in a closed shop ought to be viewed with a higher level of scrutiny than they currently receive.
