0 of 17 figures sit in a row or column sum that works out.
p. 29. The crop shows no column headings at all, so header_rows is empty. The table has no printed column rules; the column structure is inferred from three distinct right-alignment positions of the figures, which match the indentation hierarchy of the row labels: the outermost column (cell 3) holds 2,394 / 1,607 / 787 (each underscored with a rule, the usual total marking), the middle column (cell 2) holds the second-level figures 1,108 / 497 / 2, and the innermost column (cell 1) holds all the detail figures. "Other decisions" = 2 sits in the middle column (aligned with 1,108 and 497), while the "Clarification of bargaining unit" 2 just below it sits in the detail column; the two 2s are at clearly different horizontal positions. Labels broken by end-of-line hyphens were rejoined: "jurisdic-/tional" -> "jurisdictional", "de-/cision" -> "decision", "chal-/lenges" -> "challenges"; the hyphen in "Union-deauthorization" is printed within a single line and is kept. No footnote markers and no footnote text appear in the crop. The caption line above the table is not included in the crop. Arithmetic as printed: 1,108 + 497 + 2 = 1,607 (contested) and 523 + 261 + 3 = 787 (noncontested), and 1,607 + 787 = 2,394, so the printed totals are internally consistent; the unfair labor practice detail (1,018 + 5 + 37 + 48 = 1,108) and representation detail (27 + 70 + 400 = 497) also agree. No values were computed or altered.
