( Article 1 enacted by Stats. 1967, Ch. 15. ) 54402.
It is the public policy of the state to establish and support the right of any farmer to join voluntarily, belong to and freely participate in cooperative bargaining associations. Interference with producer rights set forth in this chapter, including the obligation of processors to negotiate and bargain with cooperative bargaining associations, is an unfair trade practice.
