Bill Text
The people of the State of California do enact as follows:
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
sta
te
is declared as follows:
Negotiation of terms and conditions of labor should result from voluntary agreement between employer and employees. Governmental authority
has permitted and encouraged
permits and 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 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.
