Hot-Shop

A warehouse or small business that serves as a front for the barter and sale of stolen, or "hot" goods. Once relatively common in the northern metropolitan areas of America(c. late 19th century-late 20th century), these shops have all but vanished, due in large part to the overall weakening of organized crime.

"My connection in Brooklyn gave me the address of a hot-shop that sells cigarettes and booze at less than half the regular retail price!"

Hot Shop

A hot shop is a business which treats its employees that bad, that it's almost about to explode. It is a slang of trade unions to describe one of two cases:
1. Without the need of professional organizers the anger of the employees has reached such high levels that they have organized themselves, and are about to sign up for union membership.
2. The only thing that keeps this business running is the bad pay, unpaid overtime hours, and sacrifice of the workers.

AFL: You won't organize that hot shop, would you? If it's going out of business, its workers will be unemployed!
CIO: If it only exists to exploit them, it deserves no better. Hold my beer!

Syndicalist: Don't send Steve! That’s the guy who screwed up the hot shop.
