DETROIT, Oct 9 (Reuters) - United Auto Workers President Shawn Fain on Friday declared victory in a race to maintain his position as head of the 400,000-member union.
Fain, 57, who rose to national prominence during a 2023 strike against General Motors GM.N, Ford F.N and Chrysler-parent Stellantis STLAM.MI, received a majority of the vote and easily topped five challengers, according to preliminary ballot totals released by a federal monitor overseeing the vote.
