Fain elected as new UAW president, promises reform and aggressive negotiations.

Shawn Fain narrowly defeats incumbent Ray Curry to become the new president of the United Auto Workers (UAW) labor union. Fain has vowed to take a tough line with Detroit's Big Three automakers as labor contracts expire in September. He aims to reform the UAW, which he believes has been controlled by leadership with a top-down, company union philosophy. The UAW is working to organize new battery plants and members worry that shifting to electric vehicles will cost jobs. Fain's election marks a historic opportunity to get back to setting the standard across all sectors.
