Valid Votes Cast in Representation Elections, by Final Results of Election, in Cases Closed, Fiscal Year 1976

p. 252. Grid is 14 columns: stub, "Total valid votes cast", then two six-column panels (won, lost), each with Total / AFL-CIO unions / Teamsters / Other national unions / Other local unions / Total votes for no union. Dash-rule cells ("------") are transcribed as "". Suspected misprint: in the "2-union elections" row, the "Teamsters" column under "Valid votes cast in elections won" is printed 6,339, but the four Teamsters entries above it (5,466 + 209 + 697 + 27) sum to 6,399, and the same row's won Total of 26,998 (= 11,505 + x + 1,383 + 7,711) also requires 6,399. The glyph is transcribed as printed; the third digit is also a plausible 3/9 scan ambiguity on this degraded page. Every other row and column total in the table checks out arithmetically. Row label "AFL-CIO v. AFL-CIO v. Teamsters" is followed on the page by a stray slash-like mark ("Teamsters/") before the leader dots, apparently a broken leader or typographic artifact; it is not transcribed as part of the label. Row label "Local v local" appears to be printed without a period after "v", unlike the neighbouring "National v. local" and "National v. national"; a faint period may simply have dropped out in the scan. Transcribed as it reads. Crop: the table is cut off at the bottom edge — the last row, "AFL-CIO v. Local v. Local", sits on the crop boundary (its digits are legible but the baseline is clipped) and the three-union section continues past the crop. No footnotes appear within the crop; the footnote marker 1 printed on the table is attached to the caption, which is omitted per instructions. Section heading "A. All representation elections" is carried as a label-only row.

p. 253. Crop structure: 14 columns (stub + 13 numeric). No column headings are printed on this image — the table continues from the preceding page, so header_rows is empty. The first two body rows are the last two rows of the 3-union block of section A, whose section label and headings fall above the crop. "B. Elections in RC cases" is a full-width centred section line with no values; its other cells are "". The period after the "B" is not clearly resolved in this 1-bit scan (it reads "B Elections in RC cases"); I have written it as "B." on the assumption of a dropped period, matching the usual style of these section lines. Periods after the abbreviation "v" print inconsistently in the scan — many are dropped (e.g. "Teamsters v Local", "Local v Local", "AFL-CIO v Local v local"). I have written "v." uniformly, treating the missing dots as scan loss. Capitalisation is genuinely inconsistent between the two sections and is transcribed as printed: section A has "National v. Local v. Local" and "AFL-CIO v. Teamsters v. National v. Local" with initial capitals, while the matching section B rows print lower-case trailing words — "AFL-CIO v. Local v. local", "National v. Local v. local", "AFL-CIO v. Teamsters v. national v. local". The identical figures in those paired rows confirm they are the same categories despite the differing case. Dash rules ("------") in empty cells are transcribed as "". Printed zeros are kept as 0. Arithmetic verification (no values were computed or corrected — this is a consistency check only, and every check passed): in each row, cols 3-6 sum to col 2 and cols 9-12 sum to col 8, and col 2 + col 7 + col 8 + col 13 = col 1. Each block subtotal ("1-union elections", "2-union elections", "3 (or more)-union elections") equals the sum of its member rows in all 13 columns, and "Total RC elections" equals the sum of the three subtotals in all 13 columns (e.g. 337,297 + 42,585 + 3,719 = 383,601; 153,454 + 11,390 + 679 = 165,523). The last cell of "Total representation elections" sits at the extreme right edge of the crop and prints as "179, 001"; it is read as 179,001, which the row check 110,650 + 40,002 + 88,694 + 179,001 = 418,347 confirms.

p. 254. The crop is a continuation page (caption reads "—Continued"); it carries only panel C of the table, so the earlier panels (A and B) are on preceding pages. "C. Elections in RM cases" is a centred section head spanning the full table width and is transcribed as a label-only row. The caption carries a raised footnote marker 1, but no footnote text is printed on this crop, so `footnotes` is empty. Empty cells in the body are printed as dash rules (------), transcribed as "". The scan is clean and every printed subtotal and total adds correctly (e.g. 9,388 + 471 = 9,859; 4,456 + 9 = 4,465), which corroborates the column assignment for the values that sit alone in a column (154 under Teamsters-won, 26 under Other national unions-won, 52 and the 0 in row "AFL-CIO v. Local" under Other local unions, etc.).

p. 255. The crop carries no column headings — it is the continuation of a table whose headings are printed on an earlier page — so header_rows is empty. The grid has 14 columns: the stub plus 13 ruled numeric columns (a grand total, then a block of 5 columns = a block total followed by four union-type sub-columns, then a single column, then a second block of 5 = block total plus four sub-columns, then a final column). Column placement was cross-checked by arithmetic: in every row the four sub-columns sum to their block total, the sub-group lines sum to "1-union elections" and "2-union elections", and those two sum to "Total RD elections" in all 13 columns; no discrepancy found. "D Elections in RD cases" is printed centred above the table's top rule, just under the running head; I kept it as a label-only section row because it names this panel of the table rather than being the table caption. A period after the "D" is not legible in this scan — I transcribed only the characters I can see. The scan drops or blurs some small punctuation: the period after "v" is clearly visible in "AFL-CIO v. AFL-CIO", "Teamsters v. National", "Teamsters v. Local" and "National v. Local" but is faint or absent in "AFL-CIO v. Teamsters", "AFL-CIO v. Local" and "Local v. Local". I wrote "v." in all seven labels on the assumption of consistent typesetting. "Teamsters" in "AFL-CIO v. Teamsters" is partly broken in the scan but unambiguous. Cells printed as a dash rule (------) are rendered as "". Printed zeros are kept as 0 and are distinguishable from dash rules in every case.
