6wages, hours, and conditions of employment, and with respect to a requirement of
7the municipal employer for a municipal employee to perform law enforcement and
8fire fighting services under s. 60.553, 61.66, or 62.13 (2e) and for a school district with
9respect to any matter under sub. (4) (n) and (o), except as provided in subs.
(3m), (3p)
, 10and (4) (m) and (mc) and s. 40.81 (3) and except that a municipal employer shall not
11meet and confer with respect to any proposal to diminish or abridge the rights
12guaranteed to municipal employees under ch. 164. The duty to bargain, however,
13does not compel either party to agree to a proposal or require the making of a
14concession. Collective bargaining includes the reduction of any agreement reached
15to a written and signed document. The municipal employer shall not be required to
16bargain on subjects reserved to management and direction of the governmental unit
17except insofar as the manner of exercise of such functions affects the wages, hours,
18and conditions of employment of the municipal employees in a collective bargaining
19unit. In creating this subchapter the legislature recognizes that the municipal
20employer must exercise its powers and responsibilities to act for the government and
21good order of the jurisdiction which it serves, its commercial benefit and the health,
22safety, and welfare of the public to assure orderly operations and functions within its
23jurisdiction, subject to those rights secured to municipal employees by the
24constitutions of this state and of the United States and by this subchapter.

(4) (d) 2. a. The commission shall determine the appropriate collective
3bargaining unit for the purpose of collective bargaining and shall whenever possible,
4unless otherwise required under this subchapter, avoid fragmentation by
5maintaining as few collective bargaining units as practicable in keeping with the size
6of the total municipal workforce. In making such a determination, the commission
7may decide whether, in a particular case, the municipal employees in the same or
8several departments, divisions, institutions, crafts, professions, or other
9occupational groupings constitute a collective bargaining unit. Before making its
10determination, the commission may provide an opportunity for the municipal
11employees concerned to determine, by secret ballot, whether they desire to be
12established as a separate collective bargaining unit. The commission shall not
13decide, however, that any group of municipal employees constitutes an appropriate
14collective bargaining unit if the group includes both professional employees and
15nonprofessional employees, unless a majority of the professional employees vote for
16inclusion in the unit. The commission shall not decide that any group of municipal
17employees constitutes an appropriate collective bargaining unit if the group includes
18both craft employees and noncraft employees unless a majority of the craft employees
19vote for inclusion in the unit. The commission shall place the professional employees
20who are assigned to perform any services at a charter school, as defined in s. 115.001
21(1), in a separate collective bargaining unit from a unit that includes any other
22professional employees whenever at least 30% of those professional employees
23request an election to be held to determine that issue and a majority of the
24professional employees at the charter school who cast votes in the election decide to
25be represented in a separate collective bargaining unit.
Upon the expiration of any
1collective bargaining agreement in force, the commission shall combine into a single
2collective bargaining unit 2 or more collective bargaining units consisting of school
3district employees if a majority of the employees voting in each collective bargaining
4unit vote to combine. Any vote taken under this subsection shall be by secret ballot.
