United Auto Workers President Shawn Fain is under investigation by an independent federal monitor for alleged retaliation against other union leaders, including accusations of financial misconduct and reassignments. The monitor, Neil Barofsky, opened the investigation in February following a corruption scandal within the UAW. Fain, who took office last year after winning the first direct election, has faced criticism for his actions, including leading a nationwide organizing campaign and losing a vote at a Mercedes plant in Alabama. President Joe Biden has supported Fain in the past, underscoring the political significance of the investigation in an election year.
