Riley, C.J.
I concur with the result reached by *103Justice Archer, and would reinstate the decision of the hearing referee. I write separately, however, because I cannot agree with Justice Archer’s implication that, because the Legislature did not affirmatively hold the city responsible to bargain with the dpoa, the city was not required to do so. The pera supplies that duty.
Therefore, I agree with that portion of the hearing referee’s opinion which interpreted the Wayne County court reorganization act, 1980 PA 438, as eliminating the bargaining unit work in the Detroit Recorder’s Court, thereby extinguishing the city’s duty to bargain over the decision to contract with a private security agency.
Griffin, J., took no part in the decision of this case.
