Definition of prehire agreement
A prehire agreement is a contract between an employer and a union where the employer agrees to hire union members. This agreement is made before any hiring takes place.
For example, a construction company may sign a prehire agreement with a local union, stating that they will only hire union members for their projects. This ensures that the workers are skilled and trained, and the union can negotiate better wages and benefits for their members.
Prehire agreements are legal under certain conditions, but closed shops, where only union members can be hired, are illegal under federal law.

Simple Definition
A prehire agreement is a contract between a union and an employer where the employer agrees to hire union members. This means that only people who are part of the union can work for that employer. However, this type of agreement is not allowed in some places. There are also other types of shops, such as open shops where anyone can work regardless of union affiliation, and union shops where nonunion employees can be hired but must join the union within a certain time frame.
The end of law is not to abolish or restrain, but to preserve and enlarge freedom.
