United Auto Workers Union President Ousted in Election

Shawn Fain has been declared the winner of the United Auto Workers' presidential election, defeating incumbent Ray Curry. Fain's slate of candidates won control of the union, with workers rejecting most incumbents in the wake of a bribery and embezzlement scandal. Fain has vowed to take a more confrontational stance in negotiating with automakers, end two-tiered contracts, and fight against factory closures resulting in lost union jobs. The new leadership will have to gear up for contentious contract talks with Detroit's three automakers, with many in the industry expecting strikes against the companies by the union.

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.
