24bargaining unit for the purpose of collective bargaining and shall whenever possible
25avoid fragmentation by maintaining as few collective bargaining units as practicable

5the commission may provide an opportunity for the municipal employees concerned
6to determine, by secret ballot, whether they desire to be established as a separate
7collective bargaining unit. The commission may not decide, however, that any group
8of municipal employees constitutes an appropriate collective bargaining unit if the
9group includes both professional employees and nonprofessional employees, unless
10a majority of the professional employees vote for inclusion in the unit. The

17employees and general municipal employees, or if the group includes both transit
18employees and public safety employees

19bargaining unit with employees who are not public safety employees or place transit
20employees in a collective bargaining unit with employees who are not transit
21employees. The commission may place frontline workers in a collective bargaining
22unit with municipal employees who are not frontline workers if the commission
23determines it is appropriate; if the commission places in a collective bargaining unit
24frontline workers and municipal employees who are not frontline workers, the
25collective bargaining unit is treated as if all employees in the collective bargaining

1unit are frontline workers
. The commission may not decide that any group of
2municipal employees constitutes an appropriate collective bargaining unit if the
3group includes both craft employees and noncraft employees unless a majority of the
4craft employees vote for inclusion in the unit. The commission shall place the
5professional employees who are assigned to perform any services at a charter school,
6as defined in s. 115.001 (1), in a separate collective bargaining unit from a unit that
