UAW members have voted out at least four high-ranking leaders in the wake of the union’s corruption scandal and sent the race for president to a runoff next month, according to unofficial results. […]
[Shawn] Fain, in a statement earlier Friday, said the challengers who won “will be strong voices on the International Executive Board for reform and democracy.”
“No matter what company our members work for, whether it’s the Big Three auto companies, Caterpillar, or the University of California system, we want to put every employer on notice: Prepare for a new, more aggressive UAW,” Fain said. “The cozy labor-management relationship is on its way to the dustbin of history.” […]
[Frank] Stuglin, who became secretary-treasurer in 2021 when Curry was promoted to president, was defeated by a margin of 62 percent to 38 percent by Margaret Mock, a member of the Unite All Workers for Democracy reform caucus.
The unofficial results indicate that Mike Booth and Rich Boyer, both members of the reform caucus, won two of the three available vice president spots. […]
Incumbent regional directors were ousted in three of the four regions with at least two candidates. The fourth race is headed to a runoff. Even in that race, the Curry Solidarity slate candidate did not receive the most votes.
