AB150,1345,1813 111.825 (1) (intro.) It is the legislative intent that in order to foster meaningful
14collective bargaining, units must be structured in such a way as to avoid excessive
15fragmentation whenever possible. In accordance with this policy, collective
16bargaining units for employes in the classified service of the state are structured on
17a statewide basis with one collective bargaining unit for each of the following
18occupational groups:
AB150, s. 3824 19Section 3824. 111.825 (5) of the statutes is amended to read:
AB150,1346,320 111.825 (5) Although supervisors are not considered employes for purposes of
21this subchapter, the commission may consider a petition for a statewide collective
22bargaining unit of professional supervisors or a statewide unit of nonprofessional
23supervisors in the classified service, but the representative of supervisors may not
24be affiliated with any labor organization representing employes. For purposes of this
25subsection, affiliation does not include membership in a national, state, county or

1municipal federation of national or international labor organizations.
The certified
2representative of supervisors may not bargain collectively with respect to any matter
3other than wages and fringe benefits as provided in s. 111.91 (1).
AB150, s. 3825 4Section 3825. 111.84 (1) (a) of the statutes is amended to read:

6of their rights guaranteed in s. 111.82.

AB150,1346,248 111.84 (1) (b) Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph, to initiate,
9create, dominate or interfere with the formation or administration of any labor or
10employe organization or contribute financial support to it. Except as provided in ss.
1140.02 (22) (e) and 40.23 (1) (f) 4., no change in any law affecting the Wisconsin
12retirement system under ch. 40 and no action by the employer that is authorized by
13such a law constitutes a violation of this paragraph unless an applicable collective
14bargaining agreement specifically prohibits the change or action. No such change
15or action affects the continuing duty to bargain collectively regarding the Wisconsin
16retirement system under ch. 40 to the extent required by s. 111.91. It is not an unfair
17labor practice for the employer to reimburse state employes at their an employe at
18his or her
prevailing wage rate for the time spent during the employe's regularly
19scheduled hours conferring with the employer's officers or agents and for attendance
20at commission or court hearings necessary for the administration of this subchapter.
21Professional supervisory or craft personnel may maintain membership in
22professional or craft organizations; however, as members of such organizations they
23shall be prohibited from those activities related to collective bargaining in which the
24organizations may engage.
