Wis. Stat. § 111.83
In the case of Wisconsin Education Association Council, et. al., v. Scott Walker, et. al., 824 F. Supp. 2d 856 (2012), the United States District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin declared 2011 Wis. Act 10, section 289, which created par. (b), to be null and void.
Par. (a) is amended eff. 7-1-13 by 2011 Wis. Act 32 to read:
(a) This subsection applies only to the collective bargaining unit specified in s. 111.825(1r) (ec).
Par. (b) is amended eff. 7-1-13 by 2011 Wis. Act 32 to read:
(b) Upon filing of a petition with the commission indicating a showing of interest of at least 30% of the employees at an institution who are included within a collective bargaining unit to be represented by a labor organization, the commission shall hold an election in which the employees in that unit at that institution may vote on the question of representation. The labor organization named in any such petition shall be included on the ballot. Within 60 days of the time that an original petition is filed, another petition may be filed with the commission indicating a showing of interest of at least 10% of the employees at the same institution who are included in the same collective bargaining unit to be represented by another labor organization, in which case the name of that labor organization shall be included on the ballot. If more than one original petition is filed within a 30-day period concerning employees in the collective bargaining unit specified in s. 111.825(1r) (ec), the results of all elections held pursuant to the petitions shall be announced by the commission at the same time. The ballot shall be prepared in accordance with sub. (3), except as otherwise provided in this subsection.
Par. (c) is amended eff. 7-1-13 by 2011 Wis. Act 32 to read:
(c) Notwithstanding s. 111.825(1r) (ec), the employees at any institution included within the collective bargaining unit at which no petition is filed and no election is held or at which the employees indicate, by a majority of those voting in an election, a desire not to participate in collective bargaining are not considered to be a part of that collective bargaining unit.
Par. (b) is created eff. 7-1-13 by 2011 Wis. Act 32.
The commission may require a labor organization that has an interest in being on a certification election ballot under sub. (3) (b) to file a petition for election. Wisconsin Ass'n of State Prosecutors v. WERC, 2018 WI 17, 380 Wis. 2d 1, 907 N.W.2d 425, 15-2224. The commission may decertify a current representative labor organization on September 15, or at the expiration of the collective bargaining agreement, whichever occurs later, when the organization fails to timely file a petition for election because that failure is "logically equivalent" to an election in which a current representative labor organization does not receive at least 51 percent of the votes under sub. (3) (b). Wisconsin Ass'n of State Prosecutors v. WERC, 2018 WI 17, 380 Wis. 2d 1, 907 N.W.2d 425, 15-2224. 2011 Wis. Act 10 amendments did not violate equal protection or free speech protections.
