NEW YORK (AP) — United Auto Workers president Shawn Fain is under investigation by a court-appointed watchdog who has been working to stamp out corruption at the union in the wake of its stunning b…
Fain was the least-connected viable option during the last UAW elections. As in, aside from the non-viable socialist, Fain was the only one not tiesd to the UAW’s long strong of corrupt leadership that embezzled money, collaborated with manager, and, on one occasion, likely burned down UAW’s records office.
While it’s not impossible that he has similar problems, it’s more likely that he’s vastly less shitty and these internal conflicts are with the prior loyalists to the corrupt leadership, e.g. Mock.
Anyways the early endorsement of Biden was still terrible.
They did do some Biden photo ops, yes. I personally don’t think that is particularly valuable for the union itself.
It’s kind of like politicians showing up to a protest looking to get clout despite doing nothing to organize it. They get to claim credit while doing literally nothing.
Liberal union staff always say that Dem politicians help. It’s part of their false ideology and one if the main things we need to combat if we are to build unions that aren’t used to kill us.

Was the socialist candidate the trotskyist guy who talked like a robot but also wore an n95 everywhere?
I actually don’t remember lol. He was fairly irrelevant, just plain didn’t have enough people organized to his side.
I feel like the Trotskyist thing to do would’ve been to try and take over the viable reform campaign, UAWD. And I know that some did try that.
Didn’t UAW already get gains from Biden? Like him walking with them which helped get them their contract?

I mean they did win their contract and UAW claimed it helped
