"UAW's Fain Urges Congress to Take Action for Economic Justice"

United Auto Workers President Shawn Fain urged Congress to prioritize economic justice for the working class, calling it a national security risk. Fain's remarks were made during a hearing on unions' impact on working families. The UAW is currently considering tentative agreements that secure wage increases and other benefits for its members. Fain also highlighted the need for a pro-worker Congress and criticized automakers for not doing enough to support the transition to zero-emission vehicles. The hearing became heated when a Republican senator challenged a union leader to a physical fight.
