25bargain collectively through representatives of their own choosing, and to engage in
1lawful, concerted activities for the purpose of collective bargaining or other mutual
2aid or protection. Municipal employees have the right to refrain from any and all

4dues while remaining a member of a collective bargaining unit. A public safety
5employee or a transit employee, however, may be required to pay dues in the manner
6provided in a fair-share agreement; a fair-share agreement covering a public safety
7employee or a transit employee must contain a provision requiring the municipal
8employer to deduct the amount of dues as certified by the labor organization from the
9earnings of the employee affected by the fair-share agreement and to pay the amount
10deducted to the labor organization. A fair-share agreement covering a public safety
11employee or transit employee is subject to the right of the municipal employer or a
12labor organization to petition the commission to conduct a referendum. Such
13petition must be supported by proof that at least 30 percent of the employees in the
14collective bargaining unit desire that the fair-share agreement be terminated. Upon
15so finding, the commission shall conduct a referendum. If the continuation of the
16agreement is not supported by at least the majority of the eligible employees, it shall
17terminate. The commission shall declare any fair-share agreement suspended upon
18such conditions and for such time as the commission decides whenever it finds that
19the labor organization involved has refused on the basis of race, color, sexual
20orientation, creed,
