DETROIT — The Department of Justice is probing allegations that United Auto Workers President Shawn Fain took actions to improperly benefit his fiancée and retaliated against another senior union member who objected to the actions, according to internal union documents reviewed by Reuters. The lead counsel for the federal watchdog appointed to oversee union activities informed Fain and the senior union member, Rich Boyer, last month that the DOJ had initiated a grand jury investigation into matters detailed in the monitor’s reports, including those involving Fain and his fiancée. The monitor’s office, led by New York attorney Neil Barofsky, issues periodic reports about the union’s inner workings.
