SB40-SSA1-SA1,190,15 3(4) While a collective bargaining agreement between a labor organization and
4an employer is in force under this subchapter, a petition for an election in the
5collective bargaining unit to which the agreement applies may be filed only during
6October in the calendar year prior to the expiration of that agreement. An election
7held under that petition may be held only if the petition is supported by proof that
8at least 30 percent of the employees in the collective bargaining unit desire a change
9or discontinuance of existing representation. Within 60 days of the time that an
10original petition is filed, another petition may be filed supported by proof that at least
1110 percent of the employees in the same collective bargaining unit desire a different
12representative. If a majority of the employees in the collective bargaining unit vote
13for a change or discontinuance of representation by any named representative, the
14decision takes effect upon expiration of any existing collective bargaining agreement
15between the employer and the existing representative.
SB40-SSA1-SA1,190,17 16111.991 Unfair labor practices. (1) It is an unfair labor practice for an
17employer individually or in concert with others:
SB40-SSA1-SA1,190,1918 (a) To interfere with, restrain, or coerce employees in the exercise of their rights
19guaranteed under s. 111.97.
SB40-SSA1-SA1,191,720 (b) Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph, to initiate, create,
21dominate, or interfere with the formation or administration of any labor or employee
22organization or contribute financial support to it. Except as provided in ss. 40.02 (22)
23(e) and 40.23 (1) (f) 4., no change in any law affecting the Wisconsin Retirement
24System under ch. 40 and no action by the employer that is authorized by such a law
25is a violation of this paragraph unless an applicable collective bargaining agreement

1specifically prohibits the change or action. No such change or action affects the
2continuing duty to bargain collectively regarding the Wisconsin Retirement System
3under ch. 40 to the extent required by s. 111.998. It is not an unfair labor practice
4for the employer to reimburse an employee at his or her prevailing wage rate for the
5time spent during the employee's regularly scheduled hours conferring with the
6employer's officers or agents and for attendance at commission or court hearings
7necessary for the administration of this subchapter.
SB40-SSA1-SA1,191,118 (c) To encourage or discourage membership in any labor organization by
9discrimination in regard to hiring, tenure, or other terms or conditions of
10employment. This paragraph does not apply to fair-share or maintenance of
11membership agreements.
SB40-SSA1-SA1,191,2112 (d) To refuse to bargain collectively on matters set forth in s. 111.998 with a
13representative of a majority of its employees in an appropriate collective bargaining
14unit. Whenever the employer has a good faith doubt as to whether a labor
15organization claiming the support of a majority of its employees in an appropriate
16collective bargaining unit does in fact have that support, it may file with the
17commission a petition requesting an election as to that claim. The employer is not
18considered to have refused to bargain until an election has been held and the results
19of the election are certified to the employer by the commission. A violation of this
20paragraph includes the refusal to execute a collective bargaining agreement
21previously orally agreed upon.
SB40-SSA1-SA1,192,222 (e) To violate any collective bargaining agreement previously agreed upon by
23the parties with respect to wages, hours, and conditions of employment affecting the
24employees, including an agreement to arbitrate or to accept the terms of an

1arbitration award, when previously the parties have agreed to accept such award as
2final and binding upon them.
SB40-SSA1-SA1,192,103 (f) To deduct labor organization dues from an employee's earnings, unless the
4employer has been presented with an individual order therefor, signed by the
5employee personally, and terminable by at least the end of any year of its life or
6earlier by the employee giving at least 30 but not more than 120 days written notice
7of such termination to the employer and to the representative labor organization,
8except if there is a fair-share or maintenance of membership agreement in effect.
9The employer shall give notice to the labor organization of receipt of such notice of
10termination.
SB40-SSA1-SA1,192,17 11(1m) Notwithstanding sub. (1), it is not an unfair labor practice for the board
12to implement changes in salaries or conditions of employment for members of the
13faculty or academic staff at one institution, and not for other members of the faculty
14or academic staff at another institution, but this may be done only if the differential
15treatment is based on comparisons with the compensation and working conditions
16of employees performing similar services for comparable higher education
17institutions or based upon other competitive factors.
SB40-SSA1-SA1,192,18 18(2) It is unfair practice for an employee individually or in concert with others:
SB40-SSA1-SA1,192,2019 (a) To coerce or intimidate an employee in the enjoyment of the employee's legal
20rights, including those guaranteed under s. 111.97.
SB40-SSA1-SA1,192,2521 (b) To coerce, intimidate, or induce any officer or agent of the employer to
22interfere with any of the employer's employees in the enjoyment of their legal rights
23including those guaranteed under s. 111.97 or to engage in any practice with regard
24to its employees which would constitute an unfair labor practice if undertaken by the
25officer or agent on the officer's or agent's own initiative.
SB40-SSA1-SA1,193,5
1(c) To refuse to bargain collectively on matters specified in s. 111.998 with the
2authorized officer or agent of the employer that is the recognized or certified
3exclusive collective bargaining representative of employees in an appropriate
4collective bargaining unit. Such refusal to bargain shall include a refusal to execute
5a collective bargaining agreement previously orally agreed upon.
SB40-SSA1-SA1,193,96 (d) To violate the provisions of any written agreement with respect to terms and
7conditions of employment affecting employees, including an agreement to arbitrate
8or to accept the terms of an arbitration award, when previously the parties have
9agreed to accept such awards as final and binding upon them.
SB40-SSA1-SA1,193,1110 (e) To engage in, induce, or encourage any employees to engage in a strike or
11a concerted refusal to work or perform their usual duties as employees.
SB40-SSA1-SA1,193,1512 (f) To coerce or intimidate a supervisory employee, officer, or agent of the
13employer, working at the same trade or profession as the employer's employees, to
14induce the person to become a member of or act in concert with the labor organization
15of which the employee is a member
SB40-SSA1-SA1,193,19 16(3) It is an unfair labor practice for any person to do or cause to be done on
17behalf of or in the interest of employers or employees, or in connection with or to
18influence the outcome of any controversy as to employment relations, any act
19prohibited by subs. (1) and (2).
SB40-SSA1-SA1,194,3 20(4) Any controversy concerning unfair labor practices may be submitted to the
21commission as provided in s. 111.07, except that the commission shall schedule a
22hearing on complaints involving alleged violations of sub. (2) (e) within 3 days after
23filing of a complaint, and notice shall be given to each party interested by service on
24the party personally, or by telegram, advising the party of the nature of the complaint
25and of the date, time, and place of hearing. The commission may appoint a substitute

1tribunal to hear unfair labor practice charges by either appointing a 3-member panel
2or submitting a 7-member panel to the parties and allowing each to strike 2 names.
3Any such panel shall report its finding to the commission for appropriate action.
SB40-SSA1-SA1,194,12 4111.992 Fair-share and maintenance of membership agreements. (1)
5(a) No fair-share or maintenance of membership agreement may become effective
6unless authorized by a referendum. The commission shall order a referendum
7whenever it receives a petition supported by proof that at least 30 percent of the
8employees or supervisors specified in s. 111.98 (5) in a collective bargaining unit
9desire that a fair-share or maintenance of membership agreement be entered into
10between the employer and a labor organization. A petition may specify that a
11referendum is requested on a maintenance of membership agreement only, in which
12case the ballot shall be limited to that question.
SB40-SSA1-SA1,194,1913 (b) For a fair-share agreement to be authorized, at least two-thirds of the
14eligible employees or supervisors voting in a referendum shall vote in favor of the
15agreement. For a maintenance of membership agreement to be authorized, at least
16a majority of the eligible employees or supervisors voting in a referendum shall vote
17in favor of the agreement. In a referendum on a fair-share agreement, if less than
18two-thirds but more than one-half of the eligible employees or supervisors vote in
19favor of the agreement, a maintenance of membership agreement is authorized.
SB40-SSA1-SA1,195,820 (c) If a fair-share or maintenance of membership agreement is authorized in
21a referendum, the employer shall enter into such an agreement with the labor
22organization named on the ballot in the referendum. Each fair-share or
23maintenance of membership agreement shall contain a provision requiring the
24employer to deduct the amount of dues as certified by the labor organization from the
25earnings of the employees or supervisors affected by the agreement and to pay the

1amount so deducted to the labor organization. Unless the parties agree to an earlier
2date, the agreement shall take effect 60 days after certification by the commission
3that the referendum vote authorized the agreement. The employer shall be held
4harmless against any claims, demands, suits and other forms of liability made by
5employees or supervisors or local labor organizations which may arise for actions
6taken by the employer in compliance with this section. All such lawful claims,
7demands, suits and other forms of liability are the responsibility of the labor
8organization entering into the agreement.
SB40-SSA1-SA1,195,159 (d) Under each fair-share or maintenance of membership agreement, an
10employee or supervisor who has religious convictions against dues payments to a
11labor organization based on teachings or tenets of a church or religious body of which
12he or she is a member shall, on request to the labor organization, have his or her dues
13paid to a charity mutually agreed upon by the employee or supervisor and the labor
14organization. Any dispute concerning this paragraph may be submitted to the
15commission for adjudication.
SB40-SSA1-SA1,196,5 16(2) (a) Once authorized, a fair-share or maintenance of membership
17agreement shall continue in effect, subject to the right of the employer or labor
18organization concerned to petition the commission to conduct a new referendum.
19Such a petition must be supported by proof that at least 30 percent of the employees
20or supervisors in the collective bargaining unit desire that the fair-share or
21maintenance of membership agreement be discontinued. Upon so finding, the
22commission shall conduct a new referendum. If the continuance of the fair-share or
23maintenance of membership agreement is approved in the referendum by at least the
24percentage of eligible voting employees or supervisors required for its initial
25authorization, it shall be continued in effect, subject to the right of the employer or

1labor organization to later initiate a further vote following the procedure prescribed
2in this subsection. If the continuation of the agreement is not supported in any
3referendum, it is considered terminated at the termination of the collective
4bargaining agreement, or one year from the date of the certification of the result of
5the referendum, whichever is earlier.
SB40-SSA1-SA1,196,146 (b) The commission shall declare any fair-share or maintenance of
7membership agreement suspended upon such conditions and for such time as the
8commission decides whenever it finds that the labor organization involved has
9refused on the basis of race, color, sexual orientation, or creed to receive as a member
10any employee or supervisor in the collective bargaining unit involved, and the
11agreement shall be made subject to the findings and orders of the commission. Any
12of the parties to the agreement, or any employee or supervisor covered under the
13agreement, may come before the commission, as provided in s. 111.07, and petition
14the commission to make such a finding.
SB40-SSA1-SA1,196,17 15(3) A stipulation for a referendum executed by an employer and a labor
16organization may not be filed until after the representation election has been held
17and the results certified.
SB40-SSA1-SA1,196,20 18(4) The commission may, under rules adopted for that purpose, appoint as its
19agent an official of a state agency whose employees are entitled to vote in a
20referendum to conduct a referendum under this section.
SB40-SSA1-SA1,196,25 21111.993 Grievance arbitration. (1) Parties to the dispute pertaining to the
22interpretation of a collective bargaining agreement may agree in writing to have the
23commission or any other appointing state agency serve as arbitrator or may
24designate any other competent, impartial, and disinterested persons to so serve.
25Such arbitration proceedings shall be governed by ch. 788.
SB40-SSA1-SA1,197,6
1(2) The board shall charge an institution for the employer's share of the cost
2related to grievance arbitration under sub. (1) for any arbitration that involves one
3or more employees of the institution. Each institution so charged shall pay the
4amount that the board charges from the appropriation account or accounts used to
5pay the salary of the grievant. Funds received under this subsection shall be credited
6to the appropriation account under s. 20.545 (1) (km).
SB40-SSA1-SA1,197,12 7111.994 Mediation. The commission may appoint any competent, impartial,
8disinterested person to act as mediator in any labor dispute either upon its own
9initiative or upon the request of one of the parties to the dispute. It is the function
10of a mediator to bring the parties together voluntarily under such favorable auspices
11as will tend to effectuate settlement of the dispute, but neither the mediator nor the
12commission shall have any power of compulsion in mediation proceedings.
SB40-SSA1-SA1,197,21 13111.995 Fact-finding. (1) If a dispute has not been settled after a reasonable
14period of negotiation and after the settlement procedures, if any, established by the
15parties have been exhausted, the representative that has been certified by the
16commission after an election, as the exclusive representative of employees in an
17appropriate bargaining unit, and the employer, its officers, and agents, after a
18reasonable period of negotiation, are deadlocked with respect to any dispute between
19them arising in the collective bargaining process, the parties jointly may petition the
20commission, in writing, to initiate fact-finding under this section, and to make
21recommendations to resolve the deadlock.
SB40-SSA1-SA1,198,2 22(2) Upon receipt of a petition to initiate fact-finding, the commission shall
23make an investigation with or without a formal hearing, to determine whether a
24deadlock in fact exists. The commission shall certify the results of the investigation.
25If the commission decides that fact-finding should be initiated, it shall appoint a

1qualified, disinterested person or, when jointly requested by the parties, a 3-member
2panel to function as a fact finder.
SB40-SSA1-SA1,198,16 3(3) The fact finder may establish dates and place of hearings and shall conduct
4the hearings under rules established by the commission. Upon request, the
5commission shall issue subpoenas for hearings conducted by the fact finder. The fact
6finder may administer oaths. Upon completion of the hearing, the fact finder shall
7make written findings of fact and recommendations for solution of the dispute and
8shall cause the same to be served on the parties and the commission. In making
9findings and recommendations, the fact finder shall take into consideration among
10other pertinent factors the principles vital to the public interest in efficient and
11economical governmental administration. Upon the request of either party the fact
12finder may orally present the recommendations in advance of service of the written
13findings and recommendations. Cost of fact-finding proceedings shall be divided
14equally between the parties. At the time the fact finder submits a statement of his
15or her costs to the parties, the fact finder shall submit a copy thereof to the
16commission at its Madison office.
SB40-SSA1-SA1,198,18 17(4) A fact finder may mediate a dispute at any time prior to the issuance of the
18fact finder's recommendations.
SB40-SSA1-SA1,198,24 19(5) Within 30 days of the receipt of the fact finder's recommendations or within
20a time period mutually agreed upon by the parties, each party shall advise the other,
21in writing, as to the party's acceptance or rejection, in whole or in part, of the fact
22finder's recommendations and, at the same time, send a copy of the notification to
23the commission at its Madison office. Failure to comply with this subsection, by the
24employer or employee representative, is a violation of s. 111.991 (1) (d) or (2) (c).
SB40-SSA1-SA1,199,6
1111.996 Strike prohibited. (1) Upon establishing that a strike is in progress,
2the employer may either seek an injunction or file an unfair labor practice charge
3with the commission under s. 111.991 (2) (e) or both. It is the responsibility of the
4board to decide whether to seek an injunction or file an unfair labor practice charge.
5The existence of an administrative remedy does not constitute grounds for denial of
6injunctive relief.
SB40-SSA1-SA1,199,9 7(2) The occurrence of a strike and the participation in the strike by an employee
8do not affect the rights of the employer, in law or in equity, to deal with the strike,
9including all of the following:
