Shawn Fain to be Sworn in as UAW President on Sunday After Winning Election

Shawn Fain has declared victory over incumbent President Ray Curry in the UAW runoff election, with Fain leading by 483 votes. The independent federal monitor overseeing the election has not yet declared a winner, but Fain's team and Curry have both released statements. Fain's campaign focused on the need to be aggressive in contract negotiations with Ford, General Motors, and Stellantis, and sought to capitalize on the desire for reform in light of the corruption scandal that rocked the union.
