Later decisions citing this case, by decade. A case is still cited after being overruled — to note the reversal, distinguish it, or in dissent. The current decade is in progress, and our corpus holds fewer opinions from the most recent years, so the latest bars are undercounted — not a real decline.

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 565 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““[The] recognition of the ‘right to strike' [in the National Labor Relations Act] plainly contemplates a lawful strike, — the exercise of the unquestioned right to quit work," and it did not operate to legalize the sit-down strike, which state law made illegal and state authorities punished. Labor Board v. Fansteel Corp., 306 U.S. 240 [ 59 S.Ct. 490 , 83 L.Ed. 627 ]. Nor, for example, did it make legal a strike that ran afoul of federal law, Southern S.S. Co. v. Labor Board, 316 U.S. 31 [ 62 S.Ct. 886 , 86 L.Ed. 1246 ]; nor one in violation of a contract made pursuant thereto, Labor Board v. Sands Mng. Co., 306 U.S. 332 [ 59 S.Ct. 508 , 83 L.Ed. 682 ]; nor one creating a national emergency, United States v. United Mine Workers, 330 U.S. 258 [ 67 S.Ct. 677 , 91 L.Ed. 884 ].”
