United Auto Workers president Shawn Fain and his aligned slate are poised for a sweeping victory in the union's internal elections, according to reports from the vote count. Supporters say the result shows members have endorsed Fain's confrontational, reform-minded leadership and his agenda for the union's direction. Observers on the labor left are framing the outcome as a mandate for Fain's approach to organizing and bargaining.
