Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Current law provides collective bargaining rights for state employees under the State Employment Labor Relations Act (SELRA) and for faculty and academic staff of the University of Wisconsin System (UW System). Under SELRA, the Wisconsin Employment Relations Commission (WERC) assigns state employees to the appropriate collective bargaining unit. This draft specifies that WERC may not assign faculty and staff of the UW System to a collective bargaining unit under SELRA.
