Why UAW Made the Right Move at Volkswagen in Chattanooga

The UAW made the right move Monday, withdrawing its objections to February's unionization vote at Volkswagen's plant in Chattanooga, Tenn., hours before an administrative law judge for the National Labor Relations Board was scheduled to hear them.
It is easy to conclude that the case was withdrawn because its backers expected to lose. That is usually why cases are withdrawn just before they are about to be heard.
Beyond that, looking ahead, the best result would have been a do-over. In general, people are not fond of do-overs. In February, the UAW lost the closely watched unionization vote by a 53% margin in a 712-626 vote.
