(2) Industrial peace, regular and adequate income for the employee, and uninterrupted production of goods and services are promotive of all of these interests. They are largely dependent upon the maintenance of fair, friendly, and mutually satisfactory employment relations and the availability of suitable machinery for the peaceful adjustment of whatever controversies may arise. It is recognized that certain employers, including farmers, farmer cooperatives, and unincorporated farmer cooperative associations, in addition to their general employer problems, face special problems arising from perishable commodities and seasonal production which require adequate consideration. It is also recognized that whatever may be the rights of disputants with respect to each other in any controversy regarding employment relations, they should not be permitted, in the conduct of their controversy, to intrude directly into the primary rights of 3rd parties to earn a livelihood, transact business, and engage in the ordinary affairs of life by any lawful means and free from molestation, interference, restraint, or coercion.

Note: Makes provision consistent with s. 227.21 (2) (b), as amended by 2005 Wis. Act 249. The joint legislative council note to that amendment explains that amendment as follows:

Current law also requires that the agency receive the consent of the revisor of statutes and the attorney general in order to incorporate the standard by reference. This Section eliminates the requirement for the agency to receive the consent of the revisor.
