UAW Withdraws Caterpillar Charges: The United Auto Workers withdrew unfair labor charges of bad-faith bargaining by Caterpillar Inc., a move analysts said is a big victory for the world’s largest heavy equipment maker. The union said it believes the politics of the National Labor Relations Board would lead to a union defeat on the charges. And the union, which represents about 16,000 Caterpillar workers in Illinois, York, Pa., Memphis and Denver, said it wants to concentrate on other charges stemming from a 163-day strike and stalled contract talks.
