6:46Now PlayingIn a remarkable upset, United Auto Workers have elected reformer Shawn Fain as their new president. Fain is the first democratically-elected president in the history of UAW, the major 400,000-member union.
Fain ran on aggressively challenging corporate power and empowering rank-and-file workers. Unlike outgoing UAW leaders, he backed a historic (and successful) measure in 2021 to give all workers the right to vote in union elections.
Fain ran as part of a slate of reform candidates under Unite All Workers for Democracy (UAWD). They waged an against-the-odds campaign that criticized UAW leaders over top-down decision making and cozying up to corporate management.
Fain sat down with Faiz Shakir and spoke to us exclusively about the future of UAW and unions in America.
