Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“An employee has good cause for leaving his employment if his health or safety is jeopardized by the job assigned to him. . . . Likewise, where the work demanded of an employee would result in a breach of law, the legal duty may constitute necessitous and compelling reasons for voluntary termination. . . . Here, however, the referee and the Board, as they were empowerd to do, elected to believe the employer rather than the claimant on the issue of safety.”
