  1. 1 See Glossary of terms for definitions. Data in this table are based on unfair labor practice cases that were closed during fiscal year 1997 after the company and/or union had satisfied all remedial action requirements.
  2. 2 A single case usually results in more than one remedial action; therefore, the total number of actions exceeds the number of cases involved.

177 of 178 figures sit in a row or column sum that works out. 1 cell breaks a sum: 'A. By number of cases involved', column 2: prints 12,361, the subtotals in columns 3 to 9 add to 0.

Reader’s notes

p. 122. The crop is cut off at the bottom: the body ends mid-table with the "Accepted" row (the last printed line, partly trimmed), and the table clearly continues onto further rows/pages. No footnote block is visible in the crop, so `footnotes` is empty even though a marker is used in the body. 14 columns: stub, "Total all", then six Employer columns and six Union columns. Row "A. By number of cases involved": the "Total all" cell is printed as a small raised 2 followed by 12,361, transcribed as "12,361^2"; the footnote text itself is not on this crop. All other cells in that row are dash rules and are "". Cells rendered "" are printed as em-dash rules (—), the convention used here for "not applicable" (Employer columns on union-only remedies, Union columns on employer-only remedies). Row "B. By number of employees affected:" is printed "B. By number of employees af-/fected:." — a colon followed by what appears to be a stray mark or the first leader dot; transcribed with the colon only. Minor scan specks that are not part of the data: a tick before the "3" in "Recognition or other assistance withdrawn" / Employer–Order of–Court, and a dot before the "2" in "Employees placed on preferential hiring list" / Employer–Order of–Board. Both read as plain 3 and 2. All printed row totals cross-check: in every data row the five Employer "Pursuant to" columns sum to the Employer Total, the five Union columns sum to the Union Total, and the two Totals sum to "Total all". No misprints detected.

p. 123. Continuation page of Table 4, so the stub's section heading (the "B. By number of actions taken" block that the first ten rows belong to) is printed on the preceding page, not here; the crop starts mid-section with the row "Declined". Column structure: 14 columns — stub, "Total all", then six Employer columns (Total; Informal settlement; Formal settlement; Recommendation of administrative law judge; Board; Court) and six matching Union columns. Dash rules (em-dash fills) appear in the six Union columns of the "Declined" row and in the six Employer columns of the "Hiring hall rights restored" and "Objections to employment withdrawn" rows; these are transcribed as empty cells. The "Total all" cell of the "Declined" row shows "555" followed by a small ink mark at the baseline. It does not match the shape of the raised "2" marker used elsewhere in this table and I read it as a scan speck rather than a footnote marker, so the cell is transcribed as "555". Footnote 2 is printed under the table but its reference marker does not appear anywhere on this crop (it presumably attaches to a total row on the preceding page). The scan carries scattered specks and stray dots across the body (e.g. near the "From both employer and union" rows and in the whitespace of the Employer "Total" column); none of them sit inside a figure and none were transcribed. Arithmetic check: every row on this page is internally consistent as printed — the five detail columns sum to each panel's "Total", and Employer Total + Union Total equals "Total all", for all eleven numeric rows. The three money rows also sum down correctly (79,601,595 + 765,360 = 80,366,955). No suspected misprints.
