343 of 343 figures sit in a row or column sum that works out.
p. 126. The crop is cut off at the bottom: panel B ("Elections in RC cases") continues past the last transcribed row ("National v. Local"), and no footnote text is visible on this image even though the caption carries a raised "1" marker, so `footnotes` is empty. Many cells print a short double-hyphen dash rule ("--") rather than a figure; per the rule that a dash-rule cell is empty, these are transcribed as "". Printed zeros ("0") are kept as 0, so the image's distinction between "--" and "0" is not preserved in the grid. The dash cells are, by row (section A): AFL-CIO — won Other national, won Other local, lost Other national, lost Other local; Other local unions — won AFL-CIO, won Other national, lost AFL-CIO, lost Other national; Other national unions — won AFL-CIO, won Other local, lost AFL-CIO, lost Other local; National v. Local — won AFL-CIO, lost AFL-CIO; AFL-CIO v. Local — won Other national, lost Other national; Local v. Local — won AFL-CIO, won Other national, lost AFL-CIO, lost Other national; AFL-CIO v. National — won Other local, lost Other local; National v. National — won AFL-CIO, won Other local, lost AFL-CIO, lost Other local; AFL-CIO v. AFL-CIO — won Other national, won Other local, lost Other national, lost Other local; AFL-CIO v. AFL-CIO v. Local — won Other national, lost Other national; AFL-CIO v. AFL-CIO v. National — won Other local, lost Other local; AFL-CIO v. AFL-CIO v. AFL-CIO and AFL-CIO v. AFL-CIO v. AFL-CIO v. AFL-CIO — won Other national, won Other local, lost Other national, lost Other local. In section B: AFL-CIO — same four as above; Other local unions — won AFL-CIO, won Other national, lost AFL-CIO, lost Other national; Other national unions — won AFL-CIO, won Other local, lost AFL-CIO, lost Other local; AFL-CIO v. National and Local v. Local — all four lost-side columns after "Total" (lost AFL-CIO, lost Other national, lost Other local, lost Total votes for no union); National v. Local — won AFL-CIO, lost AFL-CIO. The row label "AFL-CIO v. AFL-CIO v. AFL-CIO v. AFL-CIO" wraps onto two printed lines and is joined here; its justified inter-word spacing has been normalized to single spaces. The two centered panel captions "A. All representation elections" and "B. Elections in RC cases" are label-only rows spanning the table width. All additive relationships check out (each row's Total valid votes cast equals won-for-unions + won-no-union + lost-for-unions + lost-no-union, component columns sum to the "Total" columns, and the subtotal/total rows sum correctly), so no misprints are suspected.
p. 127. Crop is a continuation page ("—Continued"); it begins mid-way through section B (RC elections) — the first rows of that section are on the preceding page — and runs through section C. The caption carries a raised footnote marker 1, but no footnote text is printed on this crop, so `footnotes` is empty. Twelve columns: stub, "Total valid votes cast", then five columns under "Valid votes cast in elections won" (Total / AFL-CIO unions / Other national unions / Other local unions, all under "Votes for unions", plus "Total votes for no union"), and the same five under "Valid votes cast in elections lost". Many cells print a short double-dash placeholder ("--") rather than a figure; per the transcription rule for dash rules these are rendered as empty strings. They occur in: AFL-CIO v. Local (won Other national; lost Other national); National v. National in section B (won AFL-CIO, won Other local, lost AFL-CIO, lost Other local); AFL-CIO v. AFL-CIO in section B (won Other national, won Other local, lost Other national, lost Other local); the four 3-or-more-union rows (all four "elections lost" sub-columns and the lost "Total votes for no union"); AFL-CIO in section C (won Other national, won Other local, lost Other national, lost Other local); Other local unions (won AFL-CIO, won Other national, won Other local, won Total votes for no union); and the three 2-union rows of section C (all four lost sub-columns and the lost "Total votes for no union"). Note these are distinct in the original from printed zeros, which appear elsewhere in the same columns. The row label "AFL-CIO v. AFL-CIO v. AFL-CIO v. AFL-CIO" wraps onto two printed lines and has been joined into one row. The section line "C. Elections in RM cases" is printed centred across the full table width and carries no values. All printed totals cross-check against their components (e.g. 832+27+193+216 = 1268; 46,573+16,377+27,752+56,701 = 147,403), so no misprints are suspected.
p. 128. This crop is the continuation page of Table 14; it contains only section D (Elections in RD cases), so sections A-C of the table are on earlier pages and no part of them appears here. The caption carries footnote marker 1 on \"Fiscal Year 2002\", but captions are excluded from the grid.\n\nThe section line \"D. Elections in RD cases\" is centered across the full table width and carries no values.\n\nCells printed as the double-dash rule \"--\" (meaning no entry) are transcribed as empty strings, as instructed; printed zeros are kept as 0. Note the resulting mix within single rows, which is as printed: e.g. the \"AFL-CIO v. AFL-CIO\" row has \"--\" in the two won-detail columns (Other national / Other local) and in the two lost-detail columns, while its lost \"Total\" and \"AFL-CIO unions\" cells are printed 0; the \"AFL-CIO v. AFL-CIO v. AFL-CIO v. AFL-CIO\" row has a printed 0 under elections-won \"Total\" but \"--\" under the three won detail columns and under won \"Total votes for no union\", yet printed 0s in the corresponding lost columns.\n\nThe label \"AFL-CIO v. AFL-CIO v. AFL-CIO v. AFL-CIO\" is printed on two lines (the fourth \"AFL-CIO\" on the second line) and has been joined into one row.\n\nAll printed totals cross-check: row sums (won + no-union won + lost + no-union lost) equal each \"Total valid votes cast\", the three single-union rows sum to the 1-union elections line, and the three subtotal lines sum to \"Total RD elections\" in every column.\n\nThe footnote line at the very bottom is clipped by the crop (only the upper portion of the type is visible), but it reads clearly as \"1 See Glossary of terms for definitions.\"
