"United Auto Workers union members who went on strike Saturday at a Stellantis casting plant in Indiana are returning to work after ratifying a deal with the company.


Stellantis said that operations at the plant in Kokomo will resume late Monday after UAW Local 1166 workers voted to ratify the agreement. The two sides had announced a tentative agreement earlier in the day pending the ratification vote."

Shawn Fain spoke out against contract, Kokomo says “NO”

Kokomo Tribune; Kokomo, Indiana

Kokomo skilled-trades committeeman Shawn Fain, at Local 1166, said he’s fairly certain the unions casting ballots today in Michigan will also vote it down.


“I’m definitely glad to see the results,” Fain said, after telling UAW leadership in a letter that in approving the deal “you might as well get a gun and shoot yourself in the head.”

The claim: "Shawn Fain never spoke out against two tier until now”

The truth (from 2007): Fain, the skilled trades committeeman at Local 1166, told his members that he opposed the agreement in the council meeting last Monday. He gave them a part of the speech that he said he delivered: "Two-tier wages have no place in this union. ... If you vote for this agreement, you might as well get a gun and shoot yourself in the head."

38TH CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION • JULY 25-28 DETROIT, MICHIGAN

The second day at the convention, I came in to find that I would be assigned to be a Sgt. At Arms, in an effort to keep me off the floor, meanwhile other staff who report to me weren’t assigned the duty. These are the types of petty games our leadership plays when you don’t kiss the ring!  At least I wore my “Zero Fox Given” socks to appropriately label my attitude toward their pettiness.

JUST HOW MUCH IS THE UAW STRIKE FUND WORTH?

Shawn Fain, the Members United candidate for president, told The Intercept in response to information in the internal audit. “While the Curry Administration claims to be transparent, I find it shameful that the membership has been misled as to the actual value of the strike fund, and that our leadership has severely underreported that value”
