Federal investigators are taking a closer look at the United Auto Workers (UAW) union, with the Department of Justice (DOJ) launching an investigation into the leadership of Shawn Fain, the union's current president. The probe, which has yet to be publicly disclosed, is likely to fuel ongoing concerns about corruption and accountability within the UAW, a union that has played a pivotal role in shaping the US automotive industry. Fain has been at the helm of the UAW since 2022, following a contentious election that saw him succeed Rory Gamble. The DOJ's investigation will be closely watched by industry insiders and union members alike, as it sheds light on the union's inner workings and potential missteps.
