In
organized labor, a hiring hall is an organization, usually under the auspices of a
labor union, which has the responsibility of furnishing new recruits for employers who have a
collective bargaining agreement with the union.The employer's use of the hiring hall may be voluntary or it may be compulsory as per the terms of the employer's contract with the union (or, in a few cases, the
labor laws of the jurisdiction in question). Compulsory use of a hiring hall effectively turns the employer into a closed shop because an employee must join the union before (s)he can be hired. Since closed shops are illegal in the
United States, all hiring halls in that country presumably operate on a voluntary basis. By contrast, the prevalence of compulsory hiring hall arrangements in
Canada varies from trade to trade and from
province to province, since labor law there is under provincial jurisdiction. The situation in
Europe also varies from country to country.
