Limitation of the Right to Form Unions or Associations (Sec. 8, Art. III)

The right to form unions and associations or societies may be abridged by the State in the exercise of police power. This is the meaning of the phrase “for purposes not contrary to law”. But unless an association could be shown to create an imminent danger to public order, public peace, public morals, or public safety, there is no justification for abridging the right to form unions or associations.
