UAW President Retaliated Against Union Officer in Funds Feud

United Auto Workers President Shawn Fain retaliated against one of his own top lieutenants and said he would “slit” the throats of opposition within the union, according to a report by a court-appointed monitor assigned to watch the union’s governance after years of corruption.

Fain, a bombastic leader who railed against how automakers treated their workers during a 2023 strike, wrongly stripped duties from the union’s Treasury-Secretary Margaret Mock after she refused to approve certain expenses, according to the latest report by the monitor, Neil Barofsky, an attorney with Jenner & Block.
