_________________________________________/
On order of the Court, the motion for leave to file a supplemental brief is
GRANTED. In light of the new issues being raised on appeal, the parties are directed to
file additional supplemental briefs by August 1, 2007, addressing whether Metropolitan
Council No 23 AFSCME v Center Line, 78 Mich App 281 (1977), correctly held that
jurisdiction to enforce section 13 of Act 312, MCL 423.243, resides in the circuit court,
and whether the Michigan Employment Relations Commission has primary jurisdiction
to enforce section 13, see Travelers Ins Co v Detroit Edison, 465 Mich 185 (2001). The
Court will determine whether to schedule reargument of the case next term after
consideration of the briefs filed pursuant to this order.
The Michigan Municipal League, the Michigan Association of Counties, Michigan
AFSCME Council 25, and the Michigan State AFL-CIO are invited to file briefs amicus
curiae. Other persons or groups interested in the determination of the issues presented in
this case may move the Court for permission to file briefs amicus curiae.
I, Corbin R. Davis, Clerk of the Michigan Supreme Court, certify that the
foregoing is a true and complete copy of the order entered at the direction of the Court.
