          In construction, many companies have closed shop or union shop contracts whereby you either have to join a union, or pay the equivalent sum of money. https://therealdeal.com/issues_articles/the-state-of-the-construction-union/



          In entertainment, you must be a member of the actors guild to perform in a union theatre, and Guild members cannot perform in non-union performances.
