Summary
A Justice Department investigation into UAW President Shawn Fain over corruption allegations is threatening the union’s push to regain full self-governance.
Six years of federal oversight were nearing an end, but the probe could prompt authorities to extend outside supervision of the union.
The timing puts the UAW leadership under pressure just as it was trying to close out a long period of court-monitored reform and restore internal control.
