organization; or (2) to withdraw from an employment relation in the event that he joins or remains

a member of a labor organization or of an employer organization. B. Such promise shall not afford any basis for the granting of legal or equitable

relief by any court against a party to such promise, or against any other persons

who, without fraud, violence or threat thereof, advise such party to act in disregard

of such promise. C. The term “promise” includes promise, undertaking, contract or agreement, whether

written or oral, express or implied. D. Any person who coerces or compels any person to enter into an agreement, written

or verbal, not to join or become a member of any labor organization, as a condition

of securing employment or continuing in the employment of any such person is guilty
