this act shall be construed to interfere with the right of an

 

employer to enter into an all-union agreement with 1 labor

 

organization if it is the only organization established among his

 

employes or her employees and recognized by him or her, by consent,

 

as the representative of a majority of his employes or her

 

employees; nor shall anything in this act be construed to interfere

 

with the right of the employer to make an all-union agreement with

 

more than 1 labor organization established among his employes or

 

her employees if such the organizations are recognized by him or

 

her, by consent, as the representatives of a majority of his

 

employes or her employees.

right-to-work zone within its boundaries by a vote of its governing

 

body or by adoption of a measure initiated by the people. The

employees in a right-to-work zone if the employer entered into or

 

renewed the agreement after the date of adoption of the measure

 

creating the right-to-work zone.
