The resolution stems from a long-running investigation into the UAW that has lead to 15 convictions so far.
Federal prosecutors and the United Auto Workers union (UAW) have reached a tentative settlement to address wide-spread corruption issues within the organization. It’s the result of a multi-year investigation the public was first made aware of in 2017.
The agreement will allow the UAW to avoid a government takeover. Among the terms, it must accept a federal monitor who will watch the union for six years.
“This will show our members that the things we’ve done over the past 13 months were very value-adding.” – Rory Gamble, UAW President
