    Free Riding

    Explanation:

    Toms Behavior; being a non union member and doesn't pay union dues; enjoys all the benefits that union has negotiated; is an example of Free Riding. Free riders are employees who are covered by collective bargaining agreements but are not union members.

    In a right-to-work setting, workers have the option to be free riders, receiving the benefits of unionization without paying membership dues or fees. Yet the duty of fair representation requires the union to represent everyone in the bargaining unit, even non-members. This duty arises from a union being the exclusive representative of a group of workers-no other union or organization can speak for them
