With more than half the votes counted, a proposal to give UAW members a direct role in choosing their leadership is passing by a sizable margin.
More than 60 percent of the ballots counted as of late Tuesday were cast in favor of adopting the “one member, one vote” election system, according to unofficial results from the office of court-appointed monitor Neil Barofsky. The referendum will pass unless at least 62 percent of the remaining votes reject the change.
