The issue, as stated by Petitioner, is: Whether the Superior Court majority s precedential Opinion has sub silentio nullified the statutory employer doctrine and effectively overruled this Court s decision in McDonald v. Levinson Steel Co., 153 A. 424 (Pa. 1930), by grafting a fact question onto the McDonald analysis that can never be answered in a way that allows the statutory employer doctrine to apply?
