DETROIT — — The challenger in the race for the United Auto Workers' top leadership post claimed victory Saturday in a close election that is likely to give his slate of candidates control of the huge union.
It was the 372,000-member union’s first direct election of its 14-member International Executive Board, which came in the wake of a wide-ranging bribery and embezzlement scandal that landed two former presidents in prison. The count has been going on since March 1, and Curry has filed a protest alleging election irregularities and campaign financing violations.
Fain, 54, now an administrator with the international union in Detroit, had 50.2% of the vote going into a count of disputed ballots on Saturday, while Curry, 57, had 49.8%. There were just under 600 challenged ballots left to be counted in the protracted vote countCurry had asked Barofsky to hold another runoff election because of the alleged irregularities, but Barofsky denied the request.
