1130.  The Legislature hereby makes the following findings and
declarations:
   Relations between organized labor and management in this state
have for many years been marked by a mature adherence to the
principles of good faith, collective bargaining and mutual respect
for the rights, interest and well-being of working people, business
and industry.  The importation or use in this state of professional
strikebreakers as replacements during a strike or lockout endangers
such sound and beneficial relations between labor and management.
   Experience in this state and in other parts of this country
demonstrates that the utilization of professional strikebreakers in
labor disputes is inimical to the public welfare and good order, in
that such practices tend to produce and prolong industrial strife,
frustrate collective bargaining and encourage violence, crimes and
other disorders.
   The aforementioned evils are beyond the regulation of applicable
federal law, and the mitigation and correction thereof requires the
exercise of the police power of this state.
