A Macomb County circuit judge on Tuesday granted a temporary restraining order that bars Chief Judge Mary Beth Kelly of Wayne County Circuit Court from privatizing the Friend of the Court. Workers affected are represented by Local 3309 of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, which requested the restraining order.
Macomb Circuit Judge Matthew Switalski issued the order that restrains Kelly and the Wayne court from executing any contract to perform work currently done by members of the AFSCME bargaining unit.
