217 of 218 figures sit in a row or column sum that works out. 1 cell breaks a sum: 'A. By number of cases involved', column 2: prints 7,851, the subtotals in columns 3 to 9 add to 0.
p. 223. 14 columns: stub, "Total all", then six Employer columns (Total; Informal settlement; Formal settlement; Recommendation of administrative law judge; Board; Court) and the same six for Union. The Employer and Union "Total" columns are tall single headings: each sits in a box that runs from under "Employer"/"Union" down to the bottom heading line, so "Pursuant to—" spans only the five detail columns beside it. That reading is from the column rules; the centring of the "Pursuant to—" text is slightly ambiguous, so if the rule under it does in fact cross the Total column, "Total" would belong one level lower. In the "A. By number of cases involved" row the value is printed with a small raised 2 before the figure ("² 7,851"); transcribed as 7,851^2. Every other cell in that row holds only a dash rule and is "". No footnote text is visible in this crop: the caption carries a raised 1 and the stub row a raised 2, but the notes that define them fall below the bottom rule, outside the image. The section label "A." also implies a section "B." that continues past this crop. Cells left blank here (e.g. the Union columns of "Employees offered reinstatement") are printed as faint leader dashes, per instruction rendered "". Arithmetic check: every row's five detail columns sum to its Employer/Union total, and Employer total + Union total equals "Total all", in all 14 data rows. No misprints detected.
p. 224. This crop is a continuation page: no column headings are printed on it, so header_rows is empty. The table's part A (and the headings) are on the preceding page; parts B and C are shown here. The grid has 14 cells per row: stub plus 13 data columns, counted from the vertical column rules and confirmed by the fully populated rows (e.g. the "C. By amounts of monetary recovery, total" row and the two rows below it, which print a value in every one of the 13 columns). "B. By number of employees affected:" and the two lines ending in a colon ("Employees receiving backpay:" and "Employees reimbursed for fees, dues, and fines:") are label-only section lines with no values; "C. By amounts of monetary recovery, total" by contrast is a data row carrying values, so it is transcribed as one row. Cells that print only a dash rule ("----") are given as "". In the "Hiring hall rights restored" row there is a small ink speck immediately left of the dash rule in column 7 (and a stray dot above column 6); both are scan artifacts, and that cell is a dash rule, hence "". A similar speck sits over the first "e" of "Employees placed on preferential hiring list"; it is not a footnote marker. In the "C. By amounts of monetary recovery, total" row, column 11 prints a bare "0" with no dollar sign, unlike the other cells in that row; transcribed as printed. No footnote markers are attached to any value, label or heading on this crop (the superscript 1 and 2 referenced by the footnotes appear in the caption/headings on the previous page). All internal arithmetic is consistent as printed: in every data row the sum of columns 3-7 equals column 2, the sum of columns 9-13 equals column 8, and columns 2 + 8 equal column 1; Accepted + Declined reproduces the reinstatement total, and Backpay + Reimbursement reproduces the monetary-recovery total. No suspected misprints. In footnote 2 the punctuation after "remedial action" is indistinct in the scan (it renders as a detached mark that could be a semicolon, period or comma, set off by a space); it is given here as a semicolon, which matches the sentence structure and the wording used in other years' reports.
