Shawn Fain won re-election as president of the United Auto Workers with a decisive margin, receiving 87 percent of votes cast, according to results tallied on October 6. His challenger, Rich Boyer, received 13 percent.
The election took place during a period marked by accusations of corruption and election interference directed at Fain, according to the Guardian. The union conducted the election for a four-year term using mail-in ballots, which were sent to members in late August 2026.
The source material does not specify the total number of votes cast, the total membership of the union, or details about the accusations of corruption and election interference.
