2in the referendum by at least the percentage of eligible voting employees required
3for its initial authorization, it shall continue, subject to the right of the employer or
4labor organization to later initiate a further vote following the procedure prescribed

12basis of race, color, sexual orientation, or creed to receive as a member any employee
13in the collective bargaining unit involved, and the agreement shall be subject to the
14findings and orders of the commission. Any of the parties to the agreement, or any
