## Resource

The Department of Justice is investigating UAW President Shawn Fain over allegations he used his power to aid his fiancée and retaliated against a union official who criticized him — a move that could shake his reelection bid. A union monitor, who previously found evidence of misconduct but paused action due to the federal probe, is withholding details to respect the grand jury’s privacy. Fain denies the claims, calling them “bogus,” while the UAW remains silent, though its lawyer insists the union isn’t under investigation. This latest controversy adds tension to the UAW’s recovery from a major corruption scandal that led to prison terms for former leaders and federal oversight since 2020.
