The commission may place frontline 15workers in a collective bargaining unit with municipal employees who are not 16frontline workers if the commission determines it is appropriate; if the commission 17places in a collective bargaining unit frontline workers and municipal employees 18who are not frontline workers, the collective bargaining unit is treated as if all 19employees in the collective bargaining unit are frontline workers. The commission 20may not decide that any group of municipal employees constitutes an appropriate 21collective bargaining unit if the group includes both craft employees and noncraft 22employees unless a majority of the craft employees vote for inclusion in the unit. 23The commission shall place the professional employees who are assigned to perform
1any services at a charter school, as defined in s. 115.001 (1), in a separate collective 2bargaining unit from a unit that includes any other professional employees 3whenever at least 30 percent of those professional employees request an election to 4be held to determine that issue and a majority of the professional employees at the 5charter school who cast votes in the election decide to be represented in a separate 6collective bargaining unit.

It is not deemed to have refused to bargain until an election has been 15held and the results thereof certified to it by the commission.

A petition may specify that a referendum is requested on a
1maintenance of membership agreement only, in which case the ballot shall be 2limited to that question.

AB50-ASA2-AA6,34,514(c) If a fair-share or maintenance of membership agreement is authorized in a 15referendum ordered under par. (a), the employer shall enter into such an agreement 16with the labor organization named on the ballot in the referendum. Each fair-share 17or maintenance of membership agreement shall contain a provision requiring the 18employer to deduct the amount of dues as certified by the labor organization from 19the earnings of the public safety employees affected by the agreement and to pay 20the amount so deducted to the labor organization.
