- discussing the phrase in the context of public labor relations law

## Opinion text

CAVANAGH, J.
(concurring in the result only). I concur only with the result reached by the majority because I do not agree with its rationale. Instead, I agree with Justice KELLY that plaintiffs did not meet the statutory demand requirements of MCL 129.61. Accordingly, I believe that the Court of Appeals properly dismissed plaintiffs’ case and that there is no need to address the issue of standing.
