Shawn Fain won his re-election as president of the United Auto Workers with over 68% of the vote. Fain cited upcoming contract negotiations in 2027 with Deere & Company, General Dynamics, and Volvo, noting that contracts with the big three automakers expire in May 2028. Separately, the Department of Justice is investigating Fain over allegations that he pressured union official Boyer to provide benefits to his family and then retaliated.
