Geographic Distribution of Decertification Elections Held in Cases Closed, Fiscal Year 1999

p. 152. The crop ends mid-table: the last transcribed row is North Dakota, which belongs to an unfinished division group (West North Central) whose remaining states and subtotal line, the later divisions, the United States total, and any footnote text continue on the following page. The stub heading carries a superscript 1 footnote marker, but the footnote text itself is not printed within this crop, so `footnotes` is empty. Column structure: 15 columns total — stub, "Total elections", four columns under "Number of elections in which representation rights were won by unions" (Total / AFL-CIO unions / Other national unions / Other local unions), "Number of elections in which no representative was chosen", "Number of employees eligible to vote", "Total valid votes cast", four columns under "Valid votes cast for unions" (same four sub-headings), "Total votes for no union", and "Eligible employees in units choosing representation". Typography: in the first spanner group the AFL-CIO sub-heading appears to be set with an en dash ("AFL–CIO") while the second group uses a hyphen ("AFL-CIO"); both are transcribed uniformly as "AFL-CIO". The last heading is printed hyphenated and broken across lines as "Eligible employ-/ees in units/choos-/ing rep-/resentati/on" and has been rejoined as "Eligible employees in units choosing representation". The indented rows New England, Middle Atlantic and East North Central are division subtotal lines (set off by double rules), not states; they are kept in place as printed. All three subtotals were checked against their component states and every column adds correctly, as do the within-row identities (union sub-types summing to the union totals, and union votes plus no-union votes equalling total valid votes cast). No misprints were detected.

p. 153. Continuation page of Table 15C (the caption carries "—Continued"); the column headings are reprinted in full at the top of this page, so they are given here. The stub heading carries a raised 1, but the text of footnote 1 is not printed on this crop, so `footnotes` is empty. The crop is cut off at the bottom: the last row shown is Colorado, within the Mountain division, whose subtotal and the remaining divisions continue on the following page. Column structure: 15 columns — stub, "Total elections", a four-column spanner "Number of elections in which representation rights were won by unions" (Total / AFL–CIO unions / Other national unions / Other local unions), "Number of elections in which no representative was chosen", "Number of employees eligible to vote", "Total valid votes cast", a four-column spanner "Valid votes cast for unions" (Total / AFL-CIO unions / Other national unions / Other local unions), "Total votes for no union", and "Eligible employees in units choosing representation". Typography note: the first "AFL–CIO" (elections spanner) is set with an en dash and the second "AFL-CIO" (votes spanner) with a hyphen; both are transcribed as printed. The last heading is hyphen-broken across lines as "Eligible employ-ees in units choos-ing rep-resentati-on" and has been rejoined to "Eligible employees in units choosing representation". The division subtotal rows (West North Central, South Atlantic, East South Central, West South Central) are indented in the original; the indentation is not reproduced in the cell text. All printed totals that can be checked are internally consistent (union votes + no-union votes = total valid votes cast, and the union sub-columns sum to their Total), so no misprints are suspected. No cells were illegible.

p. 154. The crop is a continuation page ("—Continued"), so the table begins part-way through the Mountain division: the rows above New Mexico (e.g. Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado) are on the preceding page, and the "Mountain" subtotal line therefore exceeds the sum of the Mountain rows visible here (15 vs. 8 elections). All 15 columns and both printed heading levels are present on this image. Row labels are transcribed as printed: "Perto Rico" (apparent misprint for "Puerto Rico") and "Virgin Island" (singular). The last column heading is broken across lines as "Eligible employ-ees in units choos-ing rep-resentati on"; it is joined here as "Eligible employees in units choosing representation" (the printed line break falls inside "representation" without a hyphen). The group heading over columns 3 and 10 is set with an en dash in the first group ("AFL–CIO") and a hyphen in the second ("AFL-CIO"); both are written with a plain hyphen. Indented lines ("Mountain", "Pacific", "Outlying Areas", "Total, all States and areas") are division subtotals / the grand total and are set off by double rules; their indentation is not preserved in the labels. No values appeared doubtful or illegible.
