17of self-organization, and the right to form, join, or assist labor organizations, to
18bargain collectively through representatives of their own choosing, and to engage in
19lawful, concerted activities for the purpose of collective bargaining or other mutual
20aid or protection. Municipal employees have the right to refrain from any and all

22dues while remaining a member of a collective bargaining unit. A public safety
23employee or a transit employee, however, may be required to pay dues in the manner
24provided in a fair-share agreement; a fair-share agreement covering a public safety
25employee or a transit employee must contain a provision requiring the municipal
1employer to deduct the amount of dues as certified by the labor organization from the
2earnings of the employee affected by the fair-share agreement and to pay the amount
3deducted to the labor organization. A fair-share agreement covering a public safety
4employee or transit employee is subject to the right of the municipal employer or a
5labor organization to petition the commission to conduct a referendum. Such
6petition must be supported by proof that at least 30% of the employees in the
7collective bargaining unit desire that the fair-share agreement be terminated. Upon
8so finding, the commission shall conduct a referendum. If the continuation of the
9agreement is not supported by at least the majority of the eligible employees, it shall
10terminate. The commission shall declare any fair-share agreement suspended upon
11such conditions and for such time as the commission decides whenever it finds that
12the labor organization involved has refused on the basis of race, color, sexual
13orientation, creed, or sex to receive as a member any public safety employee or transit
14employee of the municipal employer in the bargaining unit involved, and such
15agreement is subject to this duty of the commission. Any of the parties to such
16agreement or any public safety employee or transit employee covered by the
17agreement may come before the commission, as provided in s. 111.07, and ask the
