AB50-ASA2-AA6,86,2220111.01 Declaration of policy. The public policy of the state as to
21employment relations and collective bargaining, in the furtherance of which this
22subchapter is enacted, is declared to be as follows:
AB50-ASA2-AA6,87,323(1) It recognizes that there are 3 major interests involved, namely: the public,

1the employee, and the employer. These 3 interests are to a considerable extent
2interrelated. It is the policy of the state to protect and promote each of these
3interests with due regard to the situation and to the rights of the others.
AB50-ASA2-AA6,87,184(2) Industrial peace, regular and adequate income for the employee, and
5uninterrupted production of goods and services are promotive of all of these
6interests. They are largely dependent upon the maintenance of fair, friendly, and
7mutually satisfactory employment relations and the availability of suitable
8machinery for the peaceful adjustment of whatever controversies may arise. It is
9recognized that certain employers, including farmers, farmer cooperatives, and
10unincorporated farmer cooperative associations, in addition to their general
11employer problems, face special problems arising from perishable commodities and
12seasonal production that require adequate consideration. It is also recognized that
13whatever may be the rights of disputants with respect to each other in any
14controversy regarding employment relations, they should not be permitted, in the
15conduct of their controversy, to intrude directly into the primary rights of 3rd
16parties to earn a livelihood, transact business, and engage in the ordinary affairs of
17life by any lawful means and free from molestation, interference, restraint, or
18coercion.
AB50-ASA2-AA6,87,2319(3) Negotiations of terms and conditions of work should result from voluntary
20agreement between employer and employee. For the purpose of such negotiation an
21employee has the right, if the employee desires, to associate with others in
22organizing and bargaining collectively through representatives of the employees
23own choosing, without intimidation or coercion from any source.
AB50-ASA2-AA6,88,7
1(4) It is the policy of the state, in order to preserve and promote the interests
2of the public, the employee, and the employer alike, to establish standards of fair
3conduct in employment relations and to provide a convenient, expeditious, and
4impartial tribunal by which these interests may have their respective rights and
5obligations adjudicated. While limiting individual and group rights of aggression
6and defense, the state substitutes processes of justice for the more primitive
7methods of trial by combat.
AB50-ASA2-AA6,1768Section 176. 111.04 (1) and (2) of the statutes are consolidated, renumbered
9111.04 and amended to read:

13concerted activities for the purpose of collective bargaining or other mutual aid or
14protection. (2) Employees shall also have the right to refrain from self-
15organization; forming, joining, or assisting labor organizations; bargaining
16collectively through representatives; or engaging in activities for the purpose of
17collective bargaining or other mutual aid or protection such activities.

21organization, employee agency, committee, association, or representation plan by
22discrimination in regard to hiring, tenure, or other terms or conditions of
23employment except in a collective bargaining unit where an all-union agreement is

1in effect. An employer may enter into an all-union agreement with the voluntarily
2recognized representative of the employees in a collective bargaining unit, where at
3least a majority of such employees voting have voted affirmatively, by secret ballot,
4in favor of the all-union agreement in a referendum conducted by the commission,
5except that where the bargaining representative has been certified by either the
6commission or the national labor relations board as the result of a representation
7election, no referendum is required to authorize the entry into an all-union
8agreement. An authorization of an all-union agreement continues, subject to the
9right of either party to the all-union agreement to petition the commission to
10conduct a new referendum on the subject. Upon receipt of the petition, if the
11commission determines there is reasonable ground to believe that the employees
12concerned have changed their attitude toward the all-union agreement, the
13commission shall conduct a referendum. If the continuance of the all-union
14agreement is supported on a referendum by a vote at least equal to that provided in
15this paragraph for its initial authorization, it may continue, subject to the right to
16petition for a further vote by the procedure under this paragraph. If the
17continuance of the all-union agreement is not supported on a referendum, it
18terminates at the expiration of the contract of which it is then a part or at the end of
19one year from the date of the announcement by the commission of the result of the
20referendum, whichever is earlier. The commission shall declare any all-union
21agreement terminated whenever it finds that the labor organization involved has
22unreasonably refused to receive as a member any employee of such employer. An

1interested person may, as provided in s. 111.07, request the commission to perform
2this duty.
