§ 8-1-128 — Petition - writ - dissolution

The director of the division, as
petitioner, may file in the district court of the city and county of Denver, or of any
county in which the place of employment or any part thereof is situated, a verified
petition against any employers or employees, or both, as respondents, and setting
forth any violation or threatened or attempted violation of any provisions of section
8-1-125 or 8-1-126, and, thereupon, without bond and without notice, the district
court shall issue its mandatory writ enjoining the alleged violations, or attempted or
threatened violations of this article, and ordering and requiring the respondents to
maintain all the conditions of employment in status quo and without change until
after the dispute or controversy has been investigated and heard by the director
and the final findings, decision, order, or award of the director made and entered.
Any respondent may move the court to dissolve the mandatory writ as to that
respondent, and, upon at least five days' notice to the director, the motion shall be
set down for hearing, but the mandatory writ shall not be dissolved without proof of
full compliance by the respondent with all the provisions of this article and orders
of the director and that the continuance in effect of the mandatory writ is causing
or will cause the respondent great and irreparable injury. The court may require
such security of the respondent as the court determines adequate to enforce
obedience to the provisions of this article on the part of the respondent before the
mandatory writ is dissolved.
