  1. 1 See Glossary for definitions of terms. Data in this table are based on unfair labor practice cases that were closed during fiscal year 1978 after the company and/or union had satisfied all remedial action requirements.
  2. 2 A single case usually results in more than one remedial action; therefore, the total number of actions exceeds the number of cases involved.

211 of 213 figures sit in a row or column sum that works out. 2 cells break a sum: 'A. By number of cases involved', column 2: prints 10,478, the subtotals in columns 3 to 9 add to 0; 'From both employer and union', column 2: prints 8, the subtotals in columns 3 to 9 add to 16.

Reader’s notes

p. 259. 14 columns: stub, "Total all", then six Employer columns and six Union columns. The crop stops at the closing double rule, so no footnote texts are visible even though the caption carries marker 1 and the stub row "A. By number of cases involved" carries marker 2 on 10,478; footnotes is therefore empty. Row-label readings worth flagging: "Employers placed on preferential hiring list" is transcribed as printed — the first word looks like "Employers", but comparable NLRB tables in other years read "Employees", so this may be a misprint in the source. The Union-side column head is printed "Informa settle-ment" (the final "l" of "Informal" is missing or dropped out in the scan); it is given here as "Informal settlement" to match the Employer-side head. The "Recommendation of administrative law judge" heads are hyphen-broken in print ("Recom-menda-tion of adminis-trative law judge") and have been rejoined; the "j" of "judge" shows a scan artifact (reads like a dotless i) in both panels. All printed arithmetic is internally consistent: in every data row the five component columns sum to the panel Total, and Employer Total + Union Total equals Total all. No computation was substituted for a printed value.

p. 260. The crop continues a table from the preceding page: no column headings are printed on this image, so header_rows is empty. The grid has 14 columns (stub + 13 data columns), counted from the vertical column rules; the rightmost column has no rule on its right, it is bounded by the table edge. Dash rules ("------") are used as not-applicable markers and are transcribed as empty cells: columns 8-13 in the four rows "Employees offered reinstatement, total", "Accepted", "Declined", and "Employees placed on preferential hiring list"; and columns 2-7 in "Hiring hall rights restored" and "Objections to employment withdrawn". Three rows carry a label only and no values: the section line "B. By number of employees affected" and the two stub headings "Employees receiving backpay" and "Employees reimbursed for fees, dues, and fines", each of which is followed by its own "From either employer or union" / "From both employer and union" pair. The two "From either..." / "From both..." label pairs therefore repeat verbatim; their order in the grid preserves the printed order. The stub label "Employees reimbursed for fees, dues , and fines" is printed with a stray space before the second comma; transcribed as normal spacing. No footnote markers are attached to any value on this crop; markers 1 and 2 belong to the caption and headings on the earlier part of the table. Arithmetic checks pass in section C: in every one of the 13 columns the Backpay line plus the Reimbursement line equals the printed "By amounts of monetary recovery, total", and 3,990 + 1,543 = 5,533 for the reinstatement split. No misprints detected. The scan is a coarse 1-bit halftone; small single digits were read against the column rules. The least certain cells are "Hiring hall rights restored" column 13 ("1") and "Objections to employment withdrawn" column 13 ("3"), both single digits sitting hard against the right table edge.
