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 17 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1 later decision quote this exact passage“The subject of whether employees may smoke at their workplaces appears to us to be at the center of those subjects properly described as “conditions of employment” and to be entirely unrelated to those entrepreneurial or managerial judgments fundamental to the basic direction of the enterprise and removed from- the scope of mandatory bargaining by PERA Section 702, 43 P.S. § 1101.702.”
