Reader’s notes

p. 28. No column headings are printed on this crop, so header_rows is empty. The table is typeset as an indented hierarchy: the row label's indent level determines which of three numeric columns its value sits in. Column 3 (far right) holds the two underscored summary figures 1,638 (Total Board decisions) and 979 (Contested decisions); column 2 holds the category subtotals 650, 322 and 7; column 1 (innermost) holds the component values 572, 37, 28, 13, 4, 62, 256 and 4. The two right-hand figures 1,638 and 979 are printed with a rule underneath them in the original (total/summary styling); the rule is not transcribed. The crop is cut off at the bottom: the table continues below "Clarification of bargaining unit ... 4" (the remaining "Other decisions" components and any routine/uncontested decision sections are not on this image), and no footnote block is visible. Minor ink specks appear in the leader dots after "tional disputes" and in the left margin beside the "rector decisions" line; they are not footnote markers. Column 2's subtotals 650 + 322 + 7 sum to 979, matching the printed "Contested decisions" figure.

p. 29. The crop continues a table from the preceding page: no column headings are printed on this image, so header_rows is empty. The body uses two numeric columns distinguished by indentation level. The deeply indented item labels (Amendment to certification, Union-deauthorization, Unfair labor practice, Representation, Other (UD only)) carry their figures in the inner/left numeric column; the flush-left section label "Noncontested decisions" carries its figure 659 in the outer/right numeric column, noticeably further right than the others. This reading is supported by the arithmetic: 257 + 398 + 4 = 659, so 659 is the total of the three rows that follow it. The 659 is set in bold and has a short horizontal rule beneath it (a subtotal rule), which I have not transcribed as a character. In "Other (UD only)" there is a small raised speck immediately after "UD" that resembles an apostrophe or dot; I read it as a scan artifact rather than a footnote marker or punctuation, since no footnotes are printed on this crop. The first two rows (Amendment to certification, Union-deauthorization) are the tail of a section begun on the previous page, and the crop ends after "Other (UD only)" with no totals line visible, so the table almost certainly continues above and may continue below.
