OUR SLATE
VOTE FOR SHAWN FAIN & DANIEL VICENTE

Shawn has extensive experience with negotiations at the local and national level.
Shawn opposed the 3/2/120 schedule when it was initially launched in 2003 at Mack Engine Plant, as well as the Global Engine Manufacturing Alliance (GEMA) agreements. He stood against ratifying the 2007 National agreement that implemented the two-tier system at Chrysler. Shawn also worked with other international staff and local leaders to stop the conductor initiative that threatened the livelihood of skilled trades workers that then-VP Norwood Jewell agreed to with Chrysler behind closed doors.
✔ SECRETARY-TREASURER ELECT
Margaret Mock, Local 140
Margaret Mock is is an experienced financial officer and a fierce protector of the interests of UAW members. She currently works on the shop floor at Local 140 (Stellantis Warren Truck). While she was at Local 961, Margaret was elected Treasurer and Financial Secretary (Detroit Axle Plant), and was elected Committeeperson three times, with the third term serving as Shop Chair (Marysville Axle Plant). As a Health & Safety Rep, she fought hard for the membership, filing OSHA charges that placed the company into the Severe Violators Enforcement Program.
Margaret is running because even after the exposure of a massive corruption scandal, we still do not have trustworthy leaders on the IEB. She vows to restore integrity to our union and to drive out corruption.

In 2003, he was able to insource WK Axle through negotiations at Detroit Axle. From 2008 to 2010, he fought with both the company and General Holiefield to try to stop the Marysville Axle deal. He and other were kicked out of the Solidarity House over their actions to stop the spin off of the Detroit Axle Plant and protect the membership.
