Involuntary servitude
Sec. 15. Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to require an
individual employee to render labor or service without his consent,
or to make illegal the quitting of his labor or service or the
withdrawal from his place of employment unless done in concert or
by agreement with others. No court shall have power to issue any
process to compel an individual employee to render labor or service
or to remain at his place of employment without his consent. It is the
intent of this chapter only to forbid employees to leave their
employment in concert or to cause a work slowdown or stoppage in
concert and to forbid an employer to lock out his employees in any
case where the resultant interruption of public service would cause
severe hardship to a substantial number of persons.
