- 1 "Proceedings" are comparable to "cases" reported in annual reports prior to fiscal 1964. This term more accurately describes the data inasmuch as a single "proceeding" often includes more than one "case." See Glossary of terms for definitions.
- 2 A proceeding in which the Board had entered an order dismissing the complaint and the charging party appealed such dismissal in the courts of appeals
- 3 The Board appeared as "amicus curiae" in one case.
44 of 53 figures sit in a row or column sum that works out.
Reader’s notes
p. 175. 12 columns: stub, then Fiscal Year 1993 (Number of proceedings: Total, Vs. employers only, Vs. unions only, Vs. both employers and unions, Board dismissal; Percentages: Vs. employers only, Vs. unions only, Vs. both employers and unions, Board dismissal), then July 5, 1935-Sept. 30, 1993 (Number, Percent). The stub column has no printed heading, so cell 0 of each heading level is empty. Dash rules ("---") fill all empty percentage and cumulative cells; these are transcribed as "". Scan artifact: in this 1-bit scan a number of decimal points failed to reproduce and print as a gap. I have restored the decimal point in these cells, all of which are unambiguous one-decimal percentages: "On petitions for review and/or enforcement" Board dismissal % (100 0 -> 100.0); "Board orders affirmed in full" (first block) Vs. unions only % (62 5 -> 62.5) and cumulative Percent (65 9 -> 65.9); "Board orders affirmed with modification" Vs. unions only % (25 0 -> 25.0); "Board orders partially affirmed and partially remanded" Vs. employers only % (3 0 -> 3.0); "Board orders set aside" (first block) cumulative Percent (13 5 -> 13.5); "On petitions for contempt" Vs. unions only % (100 0 -> 100.0); "Proceedings decided by U.S. Supreme Court" cumulative Percent (100 0 -> 100.0); "Board orders affirmed in full" (Supreme Court block) Percent (60 2 -> 60.2); "Remanded to court of appeals" Percent (6 4 -> 6.4); "Contempt cases remanded to court of appeals" Percent (0 4 -> 0.4). Similarly, periods in the abbreviations "U.S." in the two main stub labels are faint/partly dropped in the scan ("U S. courts of appeals", "U S Supreme Court"); transcribed as "U.S." Arithmetic as printed: the first-block detail rows sum to 179 in Total (140+14+10+5+10) and match the 165/8/0/6 column totals; the contempt detail rows sum to 25. The "Contempt petitions withdrawn without compliance" row shows dashes rather than a percentage even though it has 1 proceeding, and the first-block Vs. employers only percentages (78.8+7.3+5.5+3.0+5.5) total 100.1, both as printed.
