  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.

432 of 432 figures sit in a row or column sum that works out.

Reader’s notes

p. 123. Fourteen columns: stub, "Total elections^2", five columns under "Elections won by unions", the tall "Elections in which no representative chosen", five columns under "Employees eligible to vote" (Total, In elections won, and three under the second-level span "In units won by"), and the tall "In elections where no representative chosen". Dash entries: many value cells carry a printed double dash ("--"); per the convention for dash rules these are transcribed as "". Note that cells printed as "0" (e.g. the AFL-CIO unions column in the three "AFL-CIO v. AFL-CIO v. ..." rows, and several zeros in the "no representative chosen" columns) are distinct from the dashed cells and are kept as "0". The crop shows superscript markers — a "1" on the caption and a "2" on the "Total elections" heading (kept as "Total elections^2") — but no footnote text appears below the table on this image, so `footnotes` is empty; the footnote texts are presumably printed lower on the page or on a following page outside this crop. Section line "A. All representation elections" is printed centred across the table with no values; the table evidently continues with a part B beyond this crop. All cross-checks pass: within each row, the "won by" detail columns sum to "Total won"; "Total won" plus "no representative chosen" equals "Total elections"; the employee columns sum correspondingly; and the three subtotal rows (1-union, 2-union, 3-or-more-union) sum to the "Total representation elections" row. No apparent misprints.

p. 124. 14 columns. The page is a "—Continued" sheet carrying panel B only; panel A is on the preceding page. Dash cells: many value cells carry a printed short dash ("--") marking nil/none rather than a true blank. Per the transcription rule that a cell holding only a dash rule is empty, these are rendered as "". They are distinct in the original from the printed zeros, which are kept as "0" (e.g. in "Local v. Local" the no-representative-chosen column prints 0 while the AFL-CIO columns print dashes). Readers needing the nil/blank distinction should consult the image. Header structure: "Elections won by unions" spans the Percent won / Total won / AFL-CIO unions / Other national unions / Other local unions columns; "Employees eligible to vote" spans Total / In elections won / the three "In units won by" columns; "In units won by" spans the last three of those. "Participating unions", "Total elections^2", "Elections in which no representative chosen" and "In elections where no representative chosen" are tall single headings repeated down all three levels. Footnote markers appear with no footnote text on this crop: the caption carries a superscript 1 and the "Total elections" column heading a superscript 2; the footnote texts are printed with panel A on the previous page, so `footnotes` is empty. Row labels wrapping two printed lines were joined: "AFL-CIO v. AFL-CIO v. AFL-CIO v. AFL-CIO" (second line reads "v. AFL-CIO"). No misprints detected: every subtotal and the Total RC elections line cross-foots correctly down the columns and across the component columns, and each printed percentage matches its own won/total ratio.

p. 125. 14 columns. The crop continues Table 13 from an earlier page and shows only panels C and D; panels A and B are on the preceding page(s). Dash cells: the table distinguishes a printed "0" from a printed double-hyphen dash ("--", meaning not applicable). Per the instruction that a dash-rule cell is empty, every "--" has been transcribed as "" while every printed "0" is kept as "0". The distinction is visually clear in the image, so the empty cells in this grid are exactly the "--" cells. The heading in column 7 is printed hyphenated across lines ("Elec- tions in which no rep- resenta- tive chosen") and in column 13 ("In elections where no representa- tive chosen"); both have been rejoined. Column 1's heading carries a superscript 2 footnote marker; the caption's superscript 1 marker is not included since the caption is excluded. Thousands separators are as printed: the Total RM elections row prints "1862" and "1312" without commas, while the RD rows print "24,160", "25,042", "25,375", "16,319", "16,822", "16,937" with commas; "7841", "7818", "8220", "8438", "8036" are printed without commas. No values were normalized. All row and column arithmetic was checked and is internally consistent throughout both panels; no suspected misprints. No cells were illegible.
