Relations between organized labor and management in this City and County have for many years been marked by a mature adherence to the principles of good faith, collective bargaining and a mutual respect for the rights, interests and well being of working people, business and industry. The importation or use in this City and County of professional strikebreakers as replacements during a strike or lockout endangers such sound and beneficial relations between labor and management.
Experience in this City and County 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 prolong industrial strife, frustrate collective bargaining and encourage violence, crimes and other disorders.
Persons who customarily offer themselves as replacements during labor disputes are generally of unsavory character and accustomed to association with undesirable elements. The introduction of such persons into the community and their employment in this City and County is harmful to our citizens and threatens the public peace.
The aforementioned evils are beyond the regulation of applicable state or federal law, and the mitigation and correction thereof requires the exercise of the police power of this City and County.
