Explanation:

A labor union contract is considered as the agreement of collective bargaining. The negotiation method for union contracts involves 2 committees, one which tells the interests of members of the union and the other that represents interests of the management.

Closed Shop needs employees to join a union prior to their employment and it requires employers to go to the labor union 1st for hiring new workers.
