C.L. U., and one of the AFL-CIO or other broad-based labor union representative, to review and report to the selectmen on the following two issues: ':1. the need for this article, as opposed to merely attempting other strategies to address the perceived problem; and "2. if the prohibition is needed, how to draft a narrowly-tailored and well-defined by- law which attempts to both address the problem and to protect civil liberties."
