Reader’s notes

p. 255. 14 columns. The "Formal actions taken by type of case" spanner covers columns 3-14 (from "Total formal actions taken" through "Other C combinations"); the "Cases in which formal actions taken" column sits outside it. "CD" spans the two sub-columns "Jurisdictional disputes" and "Unfair labor practices". Dash rules (------) stand in the CD "Jurisdictional disputes" column on most rows and across the CA/CB/CC columns (and to the right of the 68) on the "10(k) notices of hearings issued" row; all such cells are transcribed as "". Doubtful cell: row "Backpay decisions" (under "Decisions by administrative law judges, total"), column "C combined with representation cases" — the glyph is broken by the scan and reads like a "G"; it is transcribed as 0, which is confirmed by the column arithmetic (85 + 0 + 1 = 86, the printed subtotal). All printed section totals were checked against their component rows and every one adds up exactly (hearings, ALJ decisions, and all 14 columns of the Board section), so no misprints are suspected.
