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 32 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[t]he policy in favor of allowing the union to attempt to resolve its internal difficulties is not absolute, however; the underlying test is whether the available procedures are adequate and reasonable in light of the facts of the particular case. The policy arguments in favor of delay are weakest in a case like this one, which is not wholly a dispute between a union and its members, but rather is a ‘complex problem concerning employer, union, and employee member.’”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“Such a policy provides the union with an initial opportunity to resolve internal disputes itself, if possible, avoiding both undue interference by the court in internal organization matters and the unnecessary allocation of public resources to disputes which can be resolved privately.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“Employers are normally estopped from seeking dismissal of a claim based on failure to exhaust remedies when they have taken the position that those remedies are not available to the employees.”
