  1. 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. 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.

0 of 70 figures sit in a row or column sum that works out.

Reader’s notes

p. 164. The page prints the table as two side-by-side panels sharing the same two column headings; I have stacked them, all left-panel rows (sections A and B, through 8(b)(1)(3)(5)) first, then all right-panel rows (the 8(b) Recapitulation, B1, B2 and C). The column headings are given once. The stub column has no printed heading. Suspected misprint: in the right-panel "Recapitulation" under B2, the third row label is printed "7(b)(7)(C)" (310, 65.7); from context it should read "8(b)(7)(C)". Transcribed as printed. Faint decimal points: in the scan the decimal point is missing/very faint in four percent cells, printed as "1 7" (row 8(a)(1)(3)(4)), "9 7" (row 8(a)(1)(3)(5)), "2 5" (row 8(b)(2)) and "2 3" (row 8(b)(1)(3)). I transcribed them as 1.7, 9.7, 2.5 and 2.3, which is what the ratios to the panel totals give; the point is almost certainly present on the page but did not survive the scan. The punctuation ending the row label "Subsections of Sec. 8(b)" is a single ambiguous dot in the scan; I rendered it as a colon to match the parallel label "Subsections of Sec. 8(a):". Arithmetic cross-checks all pass: the 8(a) combination rows sum to 15,467 and the 8(b) combination rows to 8,250; every Recapitulation figure equals the sum of its component rows (e.g. 8(b)(3) = 367+189+7+4+74+1 = 642; 8(b)(4)(B) = 1,576+66+8 = 1,650; 8(b)(7)(A) = 136+3+3 = 142); and the printed percentages match the figures throughout. The "0" entries are printed zeros (values under 0.05 percent), not blanks.
