- 1 A single case may include allegations of violation of more than one subsection of the Act. Therefore, the total of the various allegations is greater than the total number of cases.
- 2 Subsec. 8(a)(1) is a general provision forbidding any type of employer interference with the rights of the employees guaranteed by the Act, and therefore is included in all charges of employer unfair labor practices.

Reader’s notes
p. 168. Two-panel table (same two column headings repeated at left and right); transcribed as one panel, all left-panel rows first (section A, its recapitulation, section B detail), then all right-panel rows (8(b) recapitulation, B1, B2, C). Headings given once. Decimal points in the "Percent of total cases" column are very faint or dropped in this 1-bit scan on many rows (e.g. 8(a)(1)(5) "21 4", 8(b)(7) "5 5", 8(b)(6) recap "0 3", 8(b)(4)(A) recap "6 1", 8(b)(7)(B) "7 8", 8(b)(7)(A)(B)(C) "1 5", 8(b)(1)(2)(3)(6) "0 0"); they are transcribed with the decimal point since every value in that column is printed to one decimal place. Internal arithmetic checks all pass as transcribed: the section A detail rows sum to 13,601 and reproduce each 8(a) recapitulation figure (592, 9,290, 331, 4,489); the section B detail rows sum to 7,330 and reproduce 4,055 / 1,782 / 620 / 2,290 / 22 / 25 / 409; B1 details sum to 2,290 and give 140 / 1,520 / 36 / 694; B2 details sum to 409 and give 120 / 39 / 267; section C's three lines sum to 107. Possible printing inconsistencies, transcribed as printed: 8(b)(7) is shown as 5.5 percent in the section B detail list but 5.6 in the 8(b) recapitulation (409/7,330 = 5.58); 8(a)(2) is shown as 4.5 percent though 592/13,601 = 4.35. Character shapes: the trailing "(5)" in the labels 8(a)(1)(2)(4)(5) and 8(a)(1)(2)(3)(4)(5) prints ambiguously between 5 and 6, but Sec. 8(a) has only subsections (1)-(5) and the recapitulation cross-sums confirm (5). The (5)/(6) readings throughout the 8(b) detail list are likewise confirmed by the 8(b)(5)=22 and 8(b)(6)=25 recapitulation totals. "Total cases 8(b)(7)" (409) and its percent "100.0", and the B1 "100.0", are partly broken up in the scan but unambiguous from context. Faint or absent punctuation in the letterspaced section headings is transcribed as it appears: "SEC 8(a)" and "B1 ANALYSIS" and "C CHARGES FILED UNDER SEC 8(e)" show no visible period, while "SEC. 8(b)" and "B2." do. "Subsections of Sec. 8(a)" and "Subsections of Sec. 8(b)." are treated as stub section lines with no values, with the indented "Total cases" beneath each as its own data row.
