UAW President Shawn Fain accused of seeking benefits for fiancee and her sister

The investigation of UAW President Shawn Fain by the independent monitor overseeing the union is in part over allegations that he ordered a vice president to take actions that would benefit his fiancée and her sister, among other reasons, according to a recent court filing.

The motion, filed by monitor Neil Barofsky, requests that the court confirm the monitor’s authority to receive access to records immediately and compel the UAW to produce documents that the monitor is asking for.

"Despite the monitor’s repeated requests, the union has not provided such access to union documents for these investigations, insisting that the union must engage in what has become a lengthy pre-production review and asserting that it will withhold or redact documents as it deems necessary to protect privilege and confidentiality ... by taking that position, the union has effectively stalled the monitor’s work," the motion said, which was filed in the U.S. District Court in Detroit Monday. Barofsky's latest motion was first reported by The Detroit News.
