  1. 1 See "Glossary" for definitions of terms. Data in this table are based on unfair labor practice cases that were closed during fiscal year 1970 after the company and/or union had satisfied all remedial action requirements.
  2. 2 A single case usually results in more than one remedial action; therefore, the total number of actions exceeds the number of cases involved.

230 of 233 figures sit in a row or column sum that works out. 3 cells break a sum: 'A. By number of cases involved', column 2: prints 6,223, the subtotals in columns 3 to 9 add to 0; 'From both employer and union', column 2: prints 27, the subtotals in columns 3 to 9 add to 54; 'From both employer and union', column 2: prints 854, the subtotals in columns 3 to 9 add to 1,708.

Reader’s notes

p. 171. 14 columns: stub, "Total all", then 6 Employer and 6 Union columns. Five header levels; "Action taken" and "Total all" are tall headings repeated down every level. The crop shows no footnote text. Two markers are referenced but their texts are not on this image: a raised 1 on the caption (caption excluded per instructions) and the raised 2 printed before 6,223 in the "A. By number of cases involved" row, transcribed as 6,223^2. The section label "A. By number of cases involved" implies a part B (e.g. by number of employees) that is not on this crop; the body here ends after "Other remedies" with a closing double rule, so part B presumably continues on a later page. Blank cells in this table are printed as rows of leader/dash dots (the Union block for the five employer-only actions and the Employer block for the four union-only actions); these are given as "". Digit check: every row and panel total reproduces the sum of its component columns (e.g. Notice posted employer 1,267+97+12+478+317 = 2,171 and 2,171+825 = 2,996; Backpay distributed 1,522+136 = 1,658). The one visually ambiguous glyph, "Hiring hall rights restored" under Union / Formal settlement, is read as 5 because 38+5+0+2+0 = 45 matches the printed row total; a 6 would not. No printed value appears to be a misprint.

p. 172. This crop is a continuation page: no column headings are printed on it, so header_rows is empty. The grid has 14 columns (stub plus 13 data columns), counted from the column rules and confirmed by the row "C. By amounts of monetary recovery, total"; from the structure of the data the 13 data columns appear to be a grand total, an employer total with five employer subcolumns, and a union total with five union subcolumns, but none of those headings are visible here. Cells rendered as "" are printed as dash rules (rows "B. ... total", "Accepted", "Declined" and "Employees placed on preferential hiring list" are dashed across the last six columns; "Hiring hall rights restored" and "Objections to employment withdrawn" are dashed across columns 2-7). "Employees receiving backpay" and "Employees reimbursed for fees, dues, and fines:" are section lines with no values. In the row "From either employer or union" under "Employees reimbursed for fees, dues, and fines:", column 4 is printed as "' 235" with a small apostrophe-like speck ahead of the digits; I read it as a scanning artifact and transcribed 235. It is not a footnote marker in the sense of a raised digit, and 1,234 + 235 + 0 + 799 + 750 = 3,018, which matches the printed subtotal in column 2, so 235 is the intended value. Arithmetic checks all pass as printed: in every column, "Backpay" plus "Reimbursement of fees, dues, and fines" equals the printed "C" total; Accepted plus Declined equals the reinstatement total in each of the first seven columns; and the five employer and five union subcolumns sum to their respective totals in the number-of-employees rows. The rows "From both employer and union" repeat the same six figures in columns 8-13 that appear in columns 2-7 (27/8/4/0/14/1 and 854/148/0/0/335/371); this is as printed and is consistent with those cases being counted on both the employer and the union side. No footnote markers are attached to any value, label or heading in this crop; the two footnotes carry markers 1 and 2 that refer to the caption and to parts of the table on the preceding page.
