In County of Lehigh v. Pennsylvania Labor Relations Board, 507 Pa. 270, 489 A.2d 1325 (1985), I dissented from the majority Opinion based upon my conclusion that the judicial secretaries were not confidential employees as defined in the Public Employe Relations Act, 43 P. S. § 1101.101 et seq. I join in the per curiam order in this case, however, in recognition of the decision in County of Lehigh as the controlling authority.
