  1. 1 See Glossary of terms for definitions.
  2. 2 Includes each unit in which a choice regarding collective-bargaining agent was made; for example, there may have been more than one election in a single case, or several cases may have been involved in one election unit.

394 of 394 figures sit in a row or column sum that works out.

Reader’s notes

p. 146. The crop ends mid-table: panel B ("B. Elections in RC cases") is cut off after the row "AFL-CIO v. National", and the row partially visible at the very bottom edge is that same row, fully legible. The remaining rows of section B, and any footnotes printed under the table, continue on the following page. Footnote markers 1 (on the caption, omitted per instructions) and 2 (on the column heading "Total elections") have no corresponding footnote text printed within this crop. Dash rules ("——") used as null markers throughout have been rendered as empty cells; printed zeros are kept as 0 (notably in the three 3-or-more-union rows and the "3 (or more)-union elections" subtotal). All subtotal and total rows were checked against their components and reconcile exactly (e.g. 3,170 + 104 + 3 = 3,277; 131,233 + 4,818 + 75 = 136,126), so no misprints are suspected. Column headings were reconstructed from hyphenated stacks: "Elec- tions in which no rep- resenta- tive chosen" and "In elec- tions where no rep- resenta- tive chosen".

p. 147. This is a continuation page (the caption carries "—Continued"); the crop begins mid-section B (Elections in RC cases), so the rows above "2-union elections" in the first block are only the last three of that group, and the first printed section heading on the page is "C. Elections in RM cases". The table is cut off by the crop after the three rows of section D — no subtotal/total for RD cases and no footnote text appear on this image, so `footnotes` is empty. The superscript markers that are visible ("Fiscal Year 1996^1" in the caption, "Total elections^2" in the heading) have no accompanying footnote text on this page. All empty cells transcribed as "" are printed as em-dash rules ("——") except where noted below. Doubtful cells: - "National v. Local", column "Employees eligible to vote / In units won by / AFL-CIO unions": the cell holds only a small faint mark (a broken or partly-printed dash rule), not a digit; transcribed as "". Arithmetic supports this (119 + 43 = 162, the "In elections won" value). - "Local v. Local", column "Elections won by unions / Other national unions": this cell appears blank on the scan while the neighbouring "AFL-CIO unions" cell carries a clear dash rule; transcribed as "". Arithmetic is consistent either way (0 + 0 + 3 = 3 total won). - "1-union elections", last column ("In elections where no representative chosen"): the thousands separator images as a period, reading "1.189". Transcribed as "1,189" because every other thousands separator in the table is a comma and the arithmetic confirms it (2,024 − 835 = 1,189). - "Total RM elections", column "In units won by / Other local unions": a small stray mark follows the "65" ("65'"). It is a scan artifact or broken type, not a footnote marker (no footnote letters are used in this table), so it is transcribed as "65". Row-label capitalisation is preserved as printed: section C uses "Other National unions" (capital N) while section D uses "Other national unions" (lowercase n). No arithmetic errors were found: all subtotals, totals and row-wise component sums in the grid check out against the printed figures.

p. 148. 14 columns (stub + 13). The crop is a "—Continued" page: the table carries over from the preceding page, so "1-union elections" appears here only as a summary line without its detail rows, and the headings shown are the repeated ones printed on this page. Several cells hold an em-dash rule (—) rather than a figure; these are transcribed as empty strings: "AFL-CIO v. Local" in "Other national unions" (both the elections and the employees-eligible blocks), and "Local v. Local" in "AFL-CIO unions" and "Other national unions" (both blocks). Printed zeros are kept as 0 and are distinguishable from the dashes in the scan. All printed figures are internally consistent (e.g. 134+3+9=146, 146+336=482, 9,320+255+1,233=10,808, and the 1-union plus 2-union lines sum to the Total RD elections line), so no suspected misprints. A small stray ink mark sits under the stub heading "Participating unions"; it is a scanning artifact, not a footnote marker.
