Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
The public policy of this state is declared to be that a worker is free to decline to associate 
with the worker's fellow workers and is free to obtain employment wherever possible without 
interference or being hindered in any way, but that the worker also has the right to association 
and organization with the worker's fellow employees and designation of representatives of the 
worker's own choosing. A contract made and entered into between an employer of labor and a 
worker or workers or any agent, bargaining agent, or representative of a worker or workers is 
binding and equally enforceable upon both parties to said contract. Elections by secret ballot 
held to determine the question of who is the bargaining representative of a worker or workers or 
whether a worker or workers shall strike against an employer must be free and impartial without 
being influenced by either an employer or worker or any third parties. Secondary boycotts and 
sympathy strikes are hereby declared to be against public interest and unlawful.
