17organization, employee agency, committee, association or representation plan by
18discrimination in regard to hiring, tenure or other terms or conditions of employment
19except in a collective bargaining unit where an all-union, fair-share, or
20maintenance of membership
agreement is in effect. An employer is not prohibited
21from entering into an all-union agreement with the voluntarily recognized
22representative of the employees in a collective bargaining unit, where at least a
23majority of such employees voting have voted affirmatively, by secret ballot, in favor
24of the all-union agreement in a referendum conducted by the commission, except
25that where the bargaining representative has been certified by either the

1commission or the national labor relations board as the result of a representation
2election, no referendum is required to authorize the entry into an all-union
3agreement. An authorization of an all-union agreement continues, subject to the
4right of either party to the all-union agreement to petition the commission to conduct
5a new referendum on the subject. Upon receipt of the petition, the commission shall
6determine whether there is reasonable ground to believe that the employees
7concerned have changed their attitude toward the all-union agreement and upon so
8finding the commission shall conduct a referendum. If the continuance of the
9all-union agreement is supported on a referendum by a vote at least equal to that
10provided in this subdivision for its initial authorization, it may continue, subject to
11the right to petition for a further vote by the procedure under this subdivision. If the
12continuance of the all-union agreement is not supported on a referendum, it
13terminates at the expiration of the contract of which it is then a part or at the end
14of one year from the date of the announcement by the commission of the result of the
15referendum, whichever is earlier. The commission shall declare any all-union
16agreement terminated whenever it finds that the labor organization involved has
17unreasonably refused to receive as a member any employee of such employer, and
18each such all-union agreement is subject to this duty of the commission. Any person
19interested may come before the commission as provided in s. 111.07 and ask the
20performance of this duty.
Any all-union agreement in effect on October 4, 1975,
21made in accordance with the law in effect at the time it is made is valid.

AB40-SA8,53,6 24111.075 Fair-share and maintenance of membership agreements. (1)
25(a) No fair-share or maintenance of membership agreement is effective unless

1authorized by a referendum. The commission shall order a referendum whenever it
2receives a petition supported by proof that at least 30 percent of the employees in a
3collective bargaining unit desire that a fair-share or maintenance of membership
4agreement be entered into between the employer and a labor organization. A petition
5may specify that a referendum is requested on a maintenance of membership
6agreement only, in which case the ballot shall be limited to that question.
AB40-SA8,53,137 (b) For a fair-share agreement to be authorized, at least two-thirds of the
8eligible employees voting in a referendum must vote in favor of the agreement. For
9a maintenance of membership agreement to be authorized, at least a majority of the
10eligible employees voting in a referendum must vote in favor of the agreement. In
11a referendum on a fair-share agreement, if less than two-thirds but more than
12one-half of the eligible employees vote in favor of the agreement, a maintenance of
13membership agreement is authorized.
AB40-SA8,54,214 (c) If a fair-share or maintenance of membership agreement is authorized in
15a referendum, the employer shall enter into a fair-share or maintenance of
16membership agreement with the labor organization named on the ballot in the
17referendum. Each fair-share or maintenance of membership agreement must
18contain a provision requiring the employer to deduct the amount of dues as certified
19by the labor organization from the earnings of the employees affected by the
20agreement and to pay the amount deducted to the labor organization. Unless the
21parties agree to an earlier date, the agreement takes effect 60 days after certification
22by the commission that the referendum vote authorized the agreement. The
23employer shall be held harmless against any claims, demands, suits, and other forms
24of liability made by employees or local labor organizations which may arise for
25actions taken by the employer in compliance with this section. All lawful claims,

1demands, suits, and other forms of liability are the responsibility of the labor
2organization entering into the agreement.
AB40-SA8,54,93 (d) Under each fair-share or maintenance of membership agreement, an
4employee who has religious convictions against dues payments to a labor
5organization based on teachings or tenets of a church or religious body of which he
6or she is a member shall, on request to the labor organization, have his or her dues
7paid to a charity mutually agreed upon by the employee and the labor organization.
8Any dispute concerning this paragraph may be submitted to the commission for
9adjudication.
AB40-SA8,54,23 10(2) (a) Once authorized, a fair-share or maintenance of membership
11agreement continues, subject to the right of the employer or labor organization
12concerned to petition the commission to conduct a new referendum. The petition
13must be supported by proof that at least 30 percent of the employees in the collective
14bargaining unit desire that the fair-share or maintenance of membership agreement
15be discontinued. Upon so finding, the commission shall conduct a new referendum.
16If the continuance of the fair-share or maintenance of membership agreement is
17approved in the referendum by at least the percentage of eligible voting employees
18required for its initial authorization, it shall continue, subject to the right of the
19employer or labor organization to later initiate a further vote following the procedure
20prescribed in this subsection. If the continuation of the agreement is not supported
21in any referendum, it terminates at the expiration of the collective bargaining
22agreement, or one year from the date of the certification of the result of the
23referendum, whichever is earlier.
AB40-SA8,55,624 (b) The commission shall declare any fair-share or maintenance of
25membership agreement suspended upon such conditions and for such time as the

1commission decides whenever it finds that the labor organization involved has
2refused on the basis of race, color, sexual orientation, or creed to receive as a member
3any employee in the collective bargaining unit involved, and the agreement shall be
4subject to the findings and orders of the commission. Any of the parties to the
5agreement, or any employee covered thereby, may come before the commission, as
6provided in s. 111.07, and petition the commission to make such a finding.
AB40-SA8,55,9 7(3) A stipulation for a referendum executed by an employer and a labor
8organization may not be filed until after the representation election has been held
9and the results certified.
AB40-SA8,55,12 10(4) The commission may, under rules adopted for that purpose, appoint as its
11agent an official of the University of Wisconsin Hospitals and Clinics Authority to
12conduct the referenda provided for in this section.
AB40-SA8,55,19 13(5) Notwithstanding sub. (1), if on July 1, 1997, there is a fair-share or
14maintenance of membership agreement in effect in any of the collective bargaining
15units specified in s. 111.825 (1) (f) 1., 5. or 9., that fair-share or maintenance of
16membership agreement shall apply to the corresponding collective bargaining unit
17under s. 111.05 (5) (a) 1. to 3. without the necessity of filing a petition or conducting
