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.
