More on how this was screened

The confirmed treatment is listed below. In St. Margaret Memorial Hospital v. NLRB, 991 F.2d 1146, 1152 (3d Cir. 1993), the Third Circuit held that American Hospital Association v. NLRB displaced Allegheny General's ruling that the Board's skilled maintenance unit determination violated Congress's warning against fragmented hospital bargaining units. Later courts continued to use Allegheny General's separate rule requiring agencies to follow controlling circuit precedent.

Every treatment on this page is written from the citing opinion itself, with a verbatim quote, never copied from a commercial citator. A citation flagged by our screen but not shown here was read and found not to weaken this case.

39 later cases cite Allegheny General Hospital v. NLRB; 39 of those citations sat close to treatment language and were flagged for reading, and all of them have been read. Citations that did not sit near treatment language were not flagged and were not read one by one, so a court that weakened this case without using any of that language would not appear here.
