AB68-ASA2-AA6,73,17 17 Section 341ac. 111.01 of the statutes is created to read:
AB68-ASA2-AA6,73,20 18111.01 Declaration of policy. The public policy of the state as to employment
19relations and collective bargaining, in the furtherance of which this subchapter is
20enacted, is declared to be as follows:
AB68-ASA2-AA6,73,24 21(1) It recognizes that there are 3 major interests involved, namely: the public,
22the employee, and the employer. These 3 interests are to a considerable extent
23interrelated. It is the policy of the state to protect and promote each of these interests
24with due regard to the situation and to the rights of the others.
AB68-ASA2-AA6,74,14
1(2) Industrial peace, regular and adequate income for the employee, and
2uninterrupted production of goods and services are promotive of all of these
3interests. They are largely dependent upon the maintenance of fair, friendly, and
4mutually satisfactory employment relations and the availability of suitable
5machinery for the peaceful adjustment of whatever controversies may arise. It is
6recognized that certain employers, including farmers, farmer cooperatives, and
7unincorporated farmer cooperative associations, in addition to their general
8employer problems, face special problems arising from perishable commodities and
9seasonal production that require adequate consideration. It is also recognized that
10whatever may be the rights of disputants with respect to each other in any
11controversy regarding employment relations, they should not be permitted, in the
12conduct of their controversy, to intrude directly into the primary rights of 3rd parties
13to earn a livelihood, transact business, and engage in the ordinary affairs of life by
14any lawful means and free from molestation, interference, restraint, or coercion.
AB68-ASA2-AA6,74,19 15(3) Negotiations of terms and conditions of work should result from voluntary
16agreement between employer and employee. For the purpose of such negotiation an
17employee has the right, if the employee desires, to associate with others in organizing
18and bargaining collectively through representatives of the employee's own choosing,
19without intimidation or coercion from any source.
AB68-ASA2-AA6,75,2 20(4) It is the policy of the state, in order to preserve and promote the interests
21of the public, the employee, and the employer alike, to establish standards of fair
22conduct in employment relations and to provide a convenient, expeditious, and
23impartial tribunal by which these interests may have their respective rights and
24obligations adjudicated. While limiting individual and group rights of aggression

1and defense, the state substitutes processes of justice for the more primitive methods
2of trial by combat.

8concerted activities for the purpose of collective bargaining or other mutual aid or
9protection. (2) Employees shall also have the right to refrain from self-organization;

16organization, employee agency, committee, association, or representation plan by
17discrimination in regard to hiring, tenure, or other terms or conditions of
18employment except in a collective bargaining unit where an all-union agreement is
19in effect. An employer may enter into an all-union agreement with the voluntarily
20recognized representative of the employees in a collective bargaining unit, where at
21least a majority of such employees voting have voted affirmatively, by secret ballot,
22in favor of the all-union agreement in a referendum conducted by the commission,
23except that where the bargaining representative has been certified by either the
24commission or the national labor relations board as the result of a representation

1agreement. An authorization of an all-union agreement continues, subject to the
2right of either party to the all-union agreement to petition the commission to conduct
3a new referendum on the subject. Upon receipt of the petition, if the commission

6conduct a referendum. If the continuance of the all-union agreement is supported
7on a referendum by a vote at least equal to that provided in this paragraph for its
8initial authorization, it may continue, subject to the right to petition for a further
9vote by the procedure under this paragraph. If the continuance of the all-union

12announcement by the commission of the result of the referendum, whichever is
13earlier. The commission shall declare any all-union agreement terminated
14whenever it finds that the labor organization involved has unreasonably refused to
15receive as a member any employee of such employer. An interested person may, as
16provided in s. 111.07, request the commission to perform this duty
.
