1bargaining unit under s. 111.825 (2g) to be represented by a labor organization or to
2change the existing representative, the commission shall hold an election in which
3the home care providers may vote on the question of representation. The labor
4organization named in the petition shall be included on the ballot. Within 60 days
5of the time that the petition is filed, another petition may be filed with the
6commission indicating a showing of interest of at least 10 percent of the home care

20employee organization or contribute financial support to it. Except as provided in
21ss. 40.02 (22) (e) and 40.23 (1) (f) 4., no change in any law affecting the Wisconsin
22retirement system under ch. 40 and no action by the employer that is authorized by
23such a law constitutes a violation of this paragraph unless an applicable collective
24bargaining agreement covering a collective bargaining unit under s. 111.825 (1) (g)
25specifically prohibits the change or action. No such change or action affects the

1continuing duty to bargain collectively with a collective bargaining unit under s.
2111.825 (1) (g)
regarding the Wisconsin retirement system under ch. 40 to the extent
3required by s. 111.91 (1). It is not an unfair labor practice for the employer to

15employees in an appropriate collective bargaining unit. Where the employer has a
16good faith doubt as to whether a labor organization claiming the support of a majority
17of its employees in appropriate collective bargaining unit does in fact have that
18support, it may file with the commission a petition requesting an election as to that
19claim. It is not deemed to have refused to bargain until an election has been held and
20the results thereof certified to it by the commission. A violation of this paragraph
21includes, but is not limited to, the refusal to execute a collective bargaining
22agreement previously orally agreed upon.

16bargaining unit or with the certified exclusive collective bargaining representative
17of employees specified in s. 111.81 (7) (b) to (f) (g) in an appropriate collective
18bargaining unit. Such refusal to bargain shall include, but not be limited to, the
19refusal to execute a collective bargaining agreement previously orally agreed upon.

SB233,101,135 111.85 (1) (a) No fair-share or maintenance of membership agreement
6covering public safety employees may become effective unless authorized by a

8petition supported by proof that at least 30% of the public safety employees or
9supervisors specified in s. 111.825 (5)
in a collective bargaining unit desire that a
10fair-share or maintenance of membership agreement be entered into between the
11employer and a labor organization. A petition may specify that a referendum is
12requested on a maintenance of membership agreement only, in which case the ballot
13shall be limited to that question.
SB233,101,2114 (b) For a fair-share agreement to be authorized, at least two-thirds of the
15eligible public safety employees or supervisors voting in a referendum shall vote in
16favor of the agreement. For a maintenance of membership agreement to be
17authorized, at least a majority of the eligible public safety employees or supervisors
18voting in a referendum shall vote in favor of the agreement. In a referendum on a
19fair-share agreement, if less than two-thirds but more than one-half of the eligible
20public safety employees or supervisors vote in favor of the agreement, a maintenance
21of membership agreement is authorized.
SB233,102,1022 (c) If a fair-share or maintenance of membership agreement is authorized in
23a referendum, the employer shall enter into such an agreement with the labor
24organization named on the ballot in the referendum. Each fair-share or
25maintenance of membership agreement shall contain a provision requiring the

1employer to deduct the amount of dues as certified by the labor organization from the
2earnings of the public safety employees or supervisors affected by the agreement and
3to pay the amount so deducted to the labor organization. Unless the parties agree
4to an earlier date, the agreement shall take effect 60 days after certification by the
5commission that the referendum vote authorized the agreement. The employer shall
6be held harmless against any claims, demands, suits and other forms of liability
7made by public safety employees or supervisors or local labor organizations which
8may arise for actions taken by the employer in compliance with this section. All such
9lawful claims, demands, suits and other forms of liability are the responsibility of the
10labor organization entering into the agreement.
SB233,102,1711 (d) Under each fair-share or maintenance of membership agreement, a public
12safety
an employee or supervisor who has religious convictions against dues
13payments to a labor organization based on teachings or tenets of a church or religious
14body of which he or she is a member shall, on request to the labor organization, have
15his or her dues paid to a charity mutually agreed upon by the public safety employee
16or supervisor and the labor organization. Any dispute concerning this paragraph
17may be submitted to the commission for adjudication.
SB233,103,7 18(2) (a) Once authorized, a fair-share or maintenance of membership
19agreement covering public safety employees shall continue in effect, subject to the
20right of the employer or labor organization concerned to petition the commission to
21conduct a new referendum. Such petition must be supported by proof that at least
2230% of the public safety employees or supervisors in the collective bargaining unit
23desire that the fair-share or maintenance of membership agreement be
24discontinued. Upon so finding, the commission shall conduct a new referendum. If
25the continuance of the fair-share or maintenance of membership agreement is

1approved in the referendum by at least the percentage of eligible voting public safety
2employees or supervisors required for its initial authorization, it shall be continued
3in effect, subject to the right of the employer or labor organization to later initiate a
4further vote following the procedure prescribed in this subsection. If the
5continuation of the agreement is not supported in any referendum, it is deemed
6terminated at the termination of the collective bargaining agreement, or one year
7from the date of the certification of the result of the referendum, whichever is earlier.
SB233,103,168 (b) The commission shall declare any fair-share or maintenance of
9membership agreement suspended upon such conditions and for such time as the
10commission decides whenever it finds that the labor organization involved has
11refused on the basis of race, color, sexual orientation or creed to receive as a member
12any public safety employee or supervisor in the collective bargaining unit involved,
13and the agreement shall be made subject to the findings and orders of the
14commission. Any of the parties to the agreement, or any public safety employee or
15supervisor
covered thereby, may come before the commission, as provided in s.
16111.07, and petition the commission to make such a finding.
