Shawn is the Warrenite wing of UAW that, hilariously, couldn't even get Warrenites on board because they were too busy supporting the openly corruptor leadership even farther to his right.
There was a socialist candidate that seemed okay but had no momentum. In theory the reforms that brought in Shawn will open up the field for left projects but also this is a big union in the US so that's a long-term project.
Also just want to validate that UAW's strategy is 80% about protectionist policies so long as the shops involved are UAW shops, e.g. EVs and EV batteries. They're very close to the Democratic Party, basically take their marching orders from them rather than wielding their own power towards the party. Pitiful, really.
