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 92 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The criteria for determining whether two firms constitute a single employer are (1) common ownership, (2) common management, (3) interrelation of operations, and (4) centralized control of labor relations.”
4 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“The appellees presented significant evidence of Elmar Lee Pettit’s anti-union animus and his intent to avoid the collective bargaining agreement with Local 343. Evidence was presented to show that on numerous occasions he declared ‘I’m gonna close that fucking Union shop!’ Further evidence was presented that he even told a customer that he had to take care to ‘conceal his involvement with North Bay [nonunion] so that he would not get caught at double breasting.’ The appellees also presented evidence that Elmar Lee Pettit used North Bay to do work that would have been performed by Nor-Cal [union] if North Bay had not been created. In fact, their evidence showed that several Nor-Cal projects were transferred to North Bay abruptly, in the middle of the job. Finally, the appellees presented evidence that Nor-Cal stopped bidding on jobs and shut down its operations in 1987.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“[t]he veil-piercing doctrine does not come into play in this case unless and until [the Trust Funds] establish their right to a money judgment against Nor-Cal and North Bay under the alter ego doctrine . . . [T]he traditional rules on piercing the corporate shell at most affect the quality of a labor organization's remedy if it finds itself with a judgment against an insolvent corporate shell.”
