As Amends the Law Today


SECTION 1.

 Section 923 of the Labor Code is amended to read:

923.
 In the interpretation and application of this chapter, the public policy of this State state  is declared as follows:
Negotiation of terms and conditions of labor should result from voluntary agreement between employer and employees. Governmental authority has permitted  permits  and encouraged encourages  employers to organize in the corporate and other forms of capital control. In dealing with such those  employers, the individual unorganized worker is helpless to exercise actual liberty of contract and to protect his or her  freedom of labor, and thereby to obtain acceptable terms and conditions of employment. Therefore it is necessary that the individual workman worker  have full freedom of association, self-organization, and designation of representatives of his or her  own choosing, to negotiate the terms and conditions of his or her  employment, and that he or she  shall be free from the interference, restraint, or coercion of employers of labor, or their agents, in the designation of such those  representatives or in self-organization or in other concerted activities for the purpose of collective bargaining or other mutual aid or protection.
