These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[I]t would appear that the overall legislative intention was to vest in the GESC jurisdiction to hear disputes over classification, discharge, or suspension, or the application of non-merit factors in promotion or hiring.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“The eligibles certified shall be the highest ranking eligibles willing to accept employment ranked in the following order for certification from employment lists: first, all the eligibles on the appropriate reemployment list, if any; second, those on the appropriate promotion list, if any; third, those on the appropriate employment list. All the names of any list shall be exhausted before any names are certified from any other list, but the names certified may be taken from two or .more lists if necessary to make a certification of three eligibles. Names shall be certified from each list in the order of their rank on that list. If appropriate employment lists do not contain the names of a sufficient number of eligibles willing to accept appointment to make possible the certification of three names, then less than three names may be certified. More than three names may be certified if necessary to insure that all persons of equal rank and eligibility have an equal opportunity to be selected for available vacancies. Certification shall be made from the appropriate list, but if no such list exists then the Director of Personnel may certify from such other list as is the next most nearly appropriate list.”
