BREAKING: In a remarkable upset, the United Auto Workers have elected reformer Shawn Fain as their new president. Fain ran on aggressively challenging corporate power and empowering rank-and-file workers. He spoke to us exclusively about the future of UAW and unions in America.

Today is one of the biggest days in recent labor movement history and one of the most momentous days of my life! Congratulations Shawn Fain! Congrats to all of the UAW Members United team for sweeping these elections. Now we get to work to build a democratic and fighting UAW!

“I’ll never forget that the first time the members of the UAW were given the right to vote, we chose change. We chose to fight.” - Shawn Fain UAW Members United Unite All Workers for Democracy (UAWD) #1M1V

Thank you Sen. Bernie Sanders!

At noon today, UAW President Shawn Fain was sworn into office, completing our union's first-ever direct election of top leadership. The new International Executive Board convened immediately after the swearing-in ceremony, and is ready to get to work for the UAW membership.

“Now we turn to our only true enemy: the multi-billion dollar corporations that don’t pay workers living wages… Let’s get ready to rumble!” —Shawn Fain, newly elected reformer UAW President, takes the convention stage
