policy of this State is declared to be as follows: Negotiations of terms and
conditions of labor should result from voluntary agreement between em-
ployer and employees. Governmental authority has permitted and en-

control. In dealing with such employers the individual unorganized

have full freedom of association, self organization, and designation of
representatives of his own choosing, to negotiate the terms and conditions
of his employment, and that he shall be free from interference, restraint
or coercion of employers of labor, or their agents, in the designation of such
representatives or in self-organization or in other concerted activities for
the purpose of collective bargaining or other mutual aid or protection.
