- 1 A single case may include allegations of violations of more than one subsection of the Act. Therefore, the total of the various allegations is greater than the total number of cases.
- 2 Sec. 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. 254. Two-panel table (same two column headings repeated left and right); transcribed as one panel, left panel rows first (sections A and B through 8(b)(1)(2)(5)(6)), then the right panel (the 8(b) Recapitulation through section D). Column headings are printed once over each panel and are given once here. Decimal points: in this 1-bit scan the period in many percent values is dropped or reduced to a gap (e.g. "14 5", "100 0", "0 0"). Every value in the Percent column is a one-decimal figure, so these have been written with the decimal point (14.5, 100.0, 0.0). Affected cells include 8(a)(1), 8(a)(1)(2), 8(a)(1)(3), 8(a)(1)(5), 8(a)(1)(2)(3), 8(a)(1)(2)(4), 8(a)(1)(3)(4), 8(a)(1)(3)(5), 8(a)(1)(4)(5), 8(a)(1)(2)(3)(4), 8(a)(1)(2)(3)(5), 8(a)(1)(2)(4)(5), 8(a)(1)(3)(4)(5), 8(a)(1)(2)(3)(4)(5), 8(a)(1)^2, 8(a)(3), 8(a)(5), 8(b)(3), 8(b)(6), 8(b)(1)(3), and most of the small 8(b) combination rows, plus several rows in the right panel (8(b)(3), 8(b)(5), the 8(b)(4) analysis rows, 8(b)(7)(B), 8(b)(4)(C), 8(b)(4)(D)). Stub column has no printed heading, so cell 0 of the heading row is empty. Row "8(a)(5)" in the left-panel Recapitulation is printed with a broken first digit that reads like "9(a)(5)"; the sequence (8(a)(1) through 8(a)(5)) and the 8,136 / 30.1 values make clear it is 8(a)(5). Row "8(b)(2)(6)" in the left panel carries a label with no printed figures in either column; the number column shows a gap at that line. Its placement is the one alignment I am least sure of — if the scan has dropped a faint entry, the "4 / 0.0" shown on the next line belongs to 8(b)(3)(6) as transcribed. "8(a)(1)(2)(4)" shows "4." in the number column; the trailing dot appears to be a leader-dot remnant and is not transcribed. Section-label periods (A., B1., C., D., "sec.") print faintly in places; they are transcribed as the standard punctuation used elsewhere in the same table. The last footnote ends without a period as printed ("...employer unfair labor practices").
