447.01  Regulating labor unions; state policy.--

The working person, unionist or nonunionist, must be protected. The right to work is the right to live.

(2)  It is here now declared to be the policy of the state, in the exercise of its sovereign constitutional police power, to regulate the activities and affairs of labor unions, their officers, agents, organizers and other representatives, in the manner, and to the extent hereafter set forth.
