AB748-SA2,59,11 11 Section 7b. 111.01 of the statutes is created to read:
AB748-SA2,59,14 12111.01 Declaration of policy. The public policy of the state as to employment
13relations and collective bargaining, in the furtherance of which this subchapter is
14enacted, is declared to be as follows:
AB748-SA2,59,18 15(1) It recognizes that there are 3 major interests involved, namely: the public,
16the employee, and the employer. These 3 interests are to a considerable extent
17interrelated. It is the policy of the state to protect and promote each of these interests
18with due regard to the situation and to the rights of the others.
AB748-SA2,60,8 19(2) Industrial peace, regular and adequate income for the employee, and
20uninterrupted production of goods and services are promotive of all of these
21interests. They are largely dependent upon the maintenance of fair, friendly, and
22mutually satisfactory employment relations and the availability of suitable
23machinery for the peaceful adjustment of whatever controversies may arise. It is
24recognized that certain employers, including farmers, farmer cooperatives, and

1unincorporated farmer cooperative associations, in addition to their general
2employer problems, face special problems arising from perishable commodities and
3seasonal production which require adequate consideration. It is also recognized that
4whatever may be the rights of disputants with respect to each other in any
5controversy regarding employment relations, they should not be permitted, in the
6conduct of their controversy, to intrude directly into the primary rights of 3rd parties
7to earn a livelihood, transact business, and engage in the ordinary affairs of life by
8any lawful means and free from molestation, interference, restraint, or coercion.
AB748-SA2,60,13 9(3) Negotiations of terms and conditions of work should result from voluntary
10agreement between employer and employee. For the purpose of such negotiation an
11employee has the right, if the employee desires, to associate with others in organizing
12and bargaining collectively through representatives of the employee's own choosing,
13without intimidation or coercion from any source.
AB748-SA2,60,20 14(4) It is the policy of the state, in order to preserve and promote the interests
15of the public, the employee, and the employer alike, to establish standards of fair
16conduct in employment relations and to provide a convenient, expeditious, and
17impartial tribunal by which these interests may have their respective rights and
18obligations adjudicated. While limiting individual and group rights of aggression
19and defense, the state substitutes processes of justice for the more primitive methods
20of trial by combat.

1concerted activities for the purpose of collective bargaining or other mutual aid or
2protection. (2) Employees shall also have the right to refrain from self-organization;

11employment except in a collective bargaining unit where an all-union, fair-share,
12or maintenance of membership agreement is in effect. An employer may enter into
13an all-union agreement with the voluntarily recognized representative of the
14employees in a collective bargaining unit, where at least a majority of such employees
15voting have voted affirmatively, by secret ballot, in favor of the all-union agreement
16in a referendum conducted by the commission, except that where the bargaining
17representative has been certified by either the commission or the national labor
18relations board as the result of a representation election, no referendum is required
19to authorize the entry into an all-union agreement. An authorization of an all-union
20agreement continues, subject to the right of either party to the all-union agreement
21to petition the commission to conduct a new referendum on the subject. Upon receipt
22of the petition, if the commission determines there is reasonable ground to believe
23that the employees concerned have changed their attitude toward the all-union
24agreement, the commission shall conduct a referendum. If the continuance of the
25all-union agreement is supported on a referendum by a vote at least equal to that

1provided in this paragraph for its initial authorization, it may continue, subject to
2the right to petition for a further vote by the procedure under this paragraph. If the
3continuance of the all-union agreement is not supported on a referendum, it
4terminates at the expiration of the contract of which it is then a part or at the end
5of one year from the date of the announcement by the commission of the result of the
6referendum, whichever is earlier. The commission shall declare any all-union
7agreement terminated whenever it finds that the labor organization involved has
8unreasonably refused to receive as a member any employee of such employer. An
9interested person may, as provided in s. 111.07, request the commission to perform
10this duty
