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.

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...?

Polling must have been pretty bad.

They don’t have the numbers.

I’m not sure this is completely dead. Watch for them to use it against the GOP in states like Ohio and Michigan where unions still hold some influence. But it isn’t going to win them any points in a state like Tennessee.
