The union's new leader will be Shawn Fain, a member of the 'UAW Members United' reform group and local leader for a Stellantis parts plant in Indiana.
United Auto Workers members have ousted their president in the union's first direct election, ushering in a new era for the labor group.
Fain, in a statement Saturday, thanked UAW members who voted in the election. He also hailed the election results as a historic change in direction for the embattled union, which he says will take a "more aggressive approach" with its employers. "I want to express my deep gratitude to all UAW staff, clerical support, leaders and most of all, our union's active and retired members for the many years of support and solidarity. It has been the honor of my life to serve our great union," Curry said.
Shawn Fain, candidate for UAW president, is in a run-off election with incumbent Ray Curry for the union's highest-ranking position.Fain's election adds to the UAW's largest upheaval in leadership in decades, as a majority of the union' s International Executive Board will be made up of first-time directors who are not part of the "Administration Caucus" that has controlled the union for more than 70 years.
