Industrial Distribution of Representation Elections Held in Cases Closed, Fiscal Year 2005

p. 157. 15 columns. The stub heading carries a superscript 1 ("Industrial Group^1"), but the text of footnote 1 is not printed within this crop; the table evidently continues on the following page (the body stops after the "31-Manufacturing" subtotal, closed by a double rule). Digit grouping is inconsistent in the original: the "Number of employees eligible to vote" and "Eligible employees in units choosing representation" columns are printed without thousands commas (e.g. 3459, 15486, 20333, 3406, 5500, 6482), while the adjacent vote columns use commas (3,018; 12,412). Transcribed as printed. Indented rows (Agriculture, Forestry, Fishing, and Hunting; Mining; Utilities; Construction; 31-Manufacturing) are subtotal lines set off by rules; they are transcribed in the same stub column as the detail rows. All five subtotals were checked against their component rows and every column adds correctly, including the apparently odd "Textile Mills" value of 9 in the last column (4663+641+9+167+27 = 5507 as printed), so 9 is read as printed and confirmed by the arithmetic. "Utilities" is a single-line industry with no detail rows above it; it sits between rule lines like a subtotal in the printed layout.

p. 158. Continuation page of Table 16 (caption marked "—Continued"); the column headings are printed on this page, so they are transcribed. 15 columns: stub plus 14 numeric columns, with two spanner groups ("Number of elections in which representation rights were won by unions" over the Total/AFL-CIO/Other national/Other local group, and "Valid votes cast for unions" over its own Total/AFL-CIO/Other national/Other local group). The last column heading is typeset broken as "Eligible employ-ees in units choos-ing rep-resentati on"; joined here to "Eligible employees in units choosing representation". The table contains three indented subtotal rows (32-Manufacturing, 33-Manufacturing, Wholesale Trade), each set off by a rule. Every one of them was checked and adds correctly across all 14 numeric columns against the detail rows above it, which confirms the column alignment; no misprints were found. Typesetting inconsistency, transcribed as printed: the "Number of employees eligible to vote" column and the final "Eligible employees..." column carry no digit-grouping commas (e.g. 1480, 12868, 18856, 5456, 9017, 3080), while the other value columns do (e.g. 1,366, 11,723). No cells were illegible or doubtful; no part of the table appears cut off by the crop.

p. 159. This is a continuation page of Table 16; the column headings are printed here, so they are transcribed. The crop begins mid-table (the first row shown, "Motor Vehicle and Parts Dealers", is part of the NAICS 44 retail-trade block whose earlier rows are on the preceding page), and the table continues past the bottom of the crop. Digit grouping is inconsistent in the original and is reproduced as printed: the "Number of employees eligible to vote" and "Eligible employees in units choosing representation" columns print four-digit values without commas (5148, 7553, 2623, 7011, 2930, 13241, 1972, 1682, 3342, 1290, 6716), while the vote columns use commas (4,648; 1,760; 2,888; etc.). Suspected misprint, transcribed as printed: "Nonstore Retailers" shows 3 employees eligible to vote but 14 total valid votes cast (5 for unions + 9 for no union), i.e. more votes cast than eligible voters. Two consecutive subtotal rows are both labelled "Retail Trade" (44 and 45), as printed in the source. All three subtotal rows (44-Retail Trade, 45-Retail Trade, 48-Transportation) were checked against their component rows and every column adds exactly; within-row identities (union total = AFL-CIO + other national + other local, and total valid votes = union votes + no-union votes) also hold for every row. The last column heading is printed broken as "Eligible employ-ees in units choos-ing rep-resentati on" and has been joined to "Eligible employees in units choosing representation". The footnote text ends without a final period after "D.C", as printed.

p. 160. Continuation page of Table 16 (the caption carries "—Continued"); column headings are reprinted here, so they are transcribed. 15 columns: stub plus 14 data columns. No footnote text is printed under the table on this crop, although the stub heading carries a raised "1" (transcribed as "Industrial Group^1"); that footnote is presumably printed on the table's first page. Row-label indentation: the sector subtotal lines are set indented relative to the detail lines. Only the first of them carries a numeric NAICS prefix as printed ("49-Transportation"); "Information", "Finance and Insurance" and "Real Estate and Rental and Leasing" appear without a prefix, and I have transcribed them exactly as printed rather than supplying "51-", "52-", "53-". The final row, "Professional, Scientific and Technical Services", is set with the same indentation as the subtotal lines and sits below a double rule that opens a new section; the table is cut off after it, so whether it is the sector's detail line or its subtotal cannot be told from this crop. Its label is transcribed as printed. Arithmetic verification: every one of the four subtotal rows (49-Transportation, Information, Finance and Insurance, Real Estate and Rental and Leasing) reproduces the sum of its detail rows in all 14 data columns, and in every data row the union-win components sum to the win total, wins plus no-representative equal total elections, and the union vote components plus the no-union vote equal total valid votes cast. No discrepancies found, which corroborates the digits read. One internal oddity in the source (not a reading error): the "Securities, Commodity Contracts and Other Intermediation and Related Activities" row records 1 election won by unions (credited to "Other national unions") yet shows only 1 valid vote for unions against 24 for no union, and 0 eligible employees in units choosing representation. Both the 1 and the 0 are confirmed by the "Finance and Insurance" subtotal (other-local union votes total 1, other-national wins total 4, eligible-employees column totals 146 = 77+46+0+0+23), so the values are transcribed as printed.

p. 161. This is a continuation page: the caption ends in "—Continued" and the table runs past the bottom of the crop (the last transcribed row, "Personal and Laundry Services", sits at the very bottom edge; further rows and any footnote text, including the note for the superscript 1 on the stub heading "Industrial Group", are not on this image). 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 as printed: the "Number of employees eligible to vote" and "Eligible employees in units choosing representation" columns carry no digit-grouping commas (e.g. 10109, 25165), while the other magnitude columns do (e.g. 7,294). This is how the source prints them; nothing was normalized. The last heading is broken as "representati / on" at the line end and was joined to "representation". Some row labels are indented in the source to mark sector aggregates ("Management of Companies and Enterprises", "Administrative and Support, Waste Management and Remediation Services", "Educational Services", "Health Care and Social Assistance", "Arts, Entertainment and Recreation", "Accommodation and Foodservices"); indentation is not preserved in the cells. All rows carry values — there are no label-only section lines. Every row is internally consistent as a check on column placement: won + none-chosen = total elections, the three union sub-columns sum to each Total, and union total + no-union total = total valid votes cast. No misprints detected. No cells were illegible.

p. 162. This is the final ("—Continued") page of Table 16; the earlier industrial groups are on preceding pages, so the body begins mid-table. The stub heading carries a raised "1" footnote marker, but no footnote text is printed on this crop (it appears on an earlier page of the table), hence the empty footnotes list. The typesetting is inconsistent about digit-grouping commas: several figures in the "Number of employees eligible to vote" and "Eligible employees in units choosing representation" columns are printed without commas (1308, 3636, 1774, 179812, 1804, 86247); these are transcribed exactly as printed. All internal sums check out: the four union-won and union-vote components add to their "Total" columns, elections won plus no-representative equals total elections, and union votes plus no-union votes equal total valid votes cast; the "Public Administration" line equals the sum of the three preceding government rows. No illegible or doubtful cells.
