The allegations that Fain made demands to benefit his domestic partner and her sister came in a court filing, according to The Wall Street Journal.
A federal watchdog is looking into whether United Auto Workers President Shawn Fain made demands to benefit his domestic partner and her sister, according toThe allegations came in a court filing by a lawyer for federal monitor Neil Barofsky. Barofsky is looking into whether union officials are complying with a 2020 settlement that came after a multiyear corruption investigation which resulted in several former union leaders being sent to prison.
According to the Journal, Barofsky is looking at Fain’s decision in May to remove UAW Vice President Rich Boyer from his role as the union’s top negotiator with Stellantis.

The monitor also began investigating a regional director after receiving allegations of potential embezzlement, according toThe UAW has been involved in attempts to unionize the Mercedes-Benz auto plant in Tuscaloosa County, and the Hyundai plant in Montgomery.
