The United Auto Workers failed in its effort to organize a Mercedes-Benz plant in Alabama, but the loss on Friday was a good result for a first effort in a historically anti-union state, labor professors and analysts said.

Until the UAW won overwhelmingly last month at a Volkswagen plant in Tennessee, the union had repeatedly failed to organize a foreign-owned automaker in the region for its nearly 90-year existence.
