Fain was the least-connected viable option during the last UAW elections. As in, aside from the non-viable socialist, Fain was the only one not tiesd to the UAW’s long strong of corrupt leadership that embezzled money, collaborated with manager, and, on one occasion, likely burned down UAW’s records office.
While it’s not impossible that he has similar problems, it’s more likely that he’s vastly less shitty and these internal conflicts are with the prior loyalists to the corrupt leadership, e.g. Mock.
Anyways the early endorsement of Biden was still terrible.
Was the socialist candidate the trotskyist guy who talked like a robot but also wore an n95 everywhere?

Didn’t UAW already get gains from Biden? Like him walking with them which helped get them their contract?
They did do some Biden photo ops, yes. I personally don’t think that is particularly valuable for the union itself.
It’s kind of like politicians showing up to a protest looking to get clout despite doing nothing to organize it. They get to claim credit while doing literally nothing.
