Sounds like the UAW got a heads-up from the Dem controlled NLRB that they were gonna lose..

The suit was all about spin.

They needed to create the narrative that the vote was tainted. They needed to show that they were not going to stand for losing. Now that the news has died down they do not want to go to court and have it proven they are not wanted.

Losing two times would be a major blow to their leadership jobs.

Sounds like they found out their 'illegal' activities would be exposed. Discovery can be a bitch.

The UAW says it will now focus on a congressional investigation into an anti-unionization campaign by Republican politicians and outside groups.

And the investigation into pro-union activities by Democrats...?

You’re a good spelling cop, Hal.
But on FR, it’s ‘looser.’

The VW workers in Germany must be sad :(

VW workers may block southern U.S. deals if no unions: labor chief...

Only in your delusional mind, Bob.

More likely that pursuing the appeal at this time would hamstring Democrat attempts to make electoral inroads in the South with candidates like young Miss Nunn.

The operative term being “at this time”. They’ll be back. Count on it.

Speaking of “hugh & series,” is the link still active?

Good point..I suspect that the NLRB wanted to rule for the union, but someone pointed out that the federal courts would toss it out..

Also..isn't the whole question of the legitimacy of NLRB rulings in question because of Zero's "recess" appts? what's happening with that..
