Wilkie, J,
(concurring). The interpretation given four years ago to sec. 111.70, Stats., in Joint School Nisi. No. 8 v. Wisconsin Employment Relations Board 1 must *303now be considered part of the statute,2 and the matter must now be left to the legislature.
Legislation should be adopted to assure municipal employees the same basic right to collective bargaining as is extended to union members employed by the private sector. Fair labor relations in the field of municipal employment require that the municipal employer have the duty to bargain collectively with the majority union.
I am authorized to state that Mr. Chief Justice Hallows joins in this concurring opinion.
