Size of Units in Representation Cases Closed, Fiscal Year 1981

p. 232. Decimal points: the 1-bit scan drops most decimal points in the percent columns, so they appear on screen as a space ("22 0", "100 0"). The points are printed — one survives legibly in the "60 to 69" Teamsters percent ("2.8") — and the cumulative-percent column only adds up if they are decimals, so every percent cell is transcribed with its decimal point. Verification: all five "Number" columns sum down to the printed Total RC and RM row (1,866 / 829 / 123 / 201 / 3,637), each data row's five numbers sum to its "Total elections" value, the elections column sums to 6,656, "Number eligible to vote" sums to 403,837, and the cumulative-percent column reproduces the running sum of the percent-of-total column exactly. The integer columns are therefore cross-checked and reliable. Doubtful / apparently misprinted percent cells (transcribed as printed, not corrected): "Under 10" Teamsters percent by size class reads 38.9 but 322/829 = 38.8; "20 to 29" Other national unions percent reads 15.5 but 19/123 = 15.4; "200 to 299" Other national unions percent reads 2.5 but 3/123 = 2.4; "40 to 49" Other local unions percent reads 5.9 but 12/201 = 6.0. In each case the last digit is small and slightly broken in the scan, so either a misprint in the source or a one-digit misreading is possible. Blank cells: the Total RC and RM row's "Cumulative percent of total" cell holds only leader dots and is transcribed as "". Where a "Number" cell is 0 the matching "Percent by size class" cell is generally left blank in the source; those are transcribed as "". The "400 to 499" Other national unions percent cell holds a single stray dot (leader-dot debris) and is transcribed as "". Stray ink: a small arrow-shaped blot sits between the Teamsters "Number" and "Percent" columns on the "300 to 399" row, and there is a stray tick above the "Other local unions / Percent by size class" heading; neither is a footnote marker. Scope: the crop shows only panel "A. Certification elections (RC and RM)". Panel A is complete (cumulative percent reaches 100.0 and every column reconciles to its printed total); any further panel (e.g. a part B) and any footnotes fall outside this crop. No footnote markers appear on any heading, label or value.

p. 233. The crop is the continuation page of Table 17; it carries only Part B (Decertification Elections (RD)). Part A is on the preceding page and is not in this image. Decimal points: the scan is a coarse bitmap in which most decimal points in the percent columns have dropped out, so values print as e.g. "100 0", "26 0", "10 7". They are unambiguously one-decimal percentages (a few survive legibly, e.g. "3.1" for AFL-CIO percent in row "80 to 89" and "1.0" for Percent of total in row "100 to 109"), so I have written them all with a decimal point. No digits were added or removed. The section line reads "B Decertification Elections (RD)"; the character after "B" is a faint blot that is most likely a period lost in the scan, so I transcribed the label without punctuation after "B" rather than guess. Throughout the body, a "0" count is paired with an empty percent cell (no percent is printed); several of those empty percent cells carry a stray speck of toner (e.g. Other local unions percent in rows "110 to 119", "120 to 129", "150 to 159", and AFL-CIO percent in row "160 to 169"). I read these as scan noise, not as values, and left the cells empty. Row labels carry trailing leader dots and stray specks ("300 to,499", "170 to 199..") which I dropped; the labels themselves are clear. Nothing is computed or corrected: the Total RD elections row has no Cumulative percent of total value printed, which is as printed.
