## Resource

Shawn Fain, president of the United Auto Workers, faces a federal grand jury probe over allegations he abused his power to aid his fiancée and retaliated against a top union official, Rich Boyer, who’s now running against him. Internal documents reveal Fain’s misconduct, including actions benefiting his fiancée and targeting Boyer — though the union monitor paused disciplinary action pending the investigation. Fain has dismissed the monitor’s findings as politically driven, while the UAW remains silent, refusing to comment on the probe, which specifically targets Fain, not the union itself. The outcome could reshape the union’s leadership race and its future under federal oversight. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
