- Each of the three UAW vice-presidents won $ 211,001 last year.
- UAW membership increased from 370,239 in 2023 to 375,161 in 2024.
- Last year, the UAW managed to unionize the VW factory in Chattanooga.
UAW president Shawn Fain made a gross salary of $ 229,514 last year, but he is far from the only executive to win a considerable pay check at the union. A recent UAW deposit from the American Labor Department reveals not only high -level remuneration figures, but also new details on membership numbers and overall financial health of the union.
Since the former UAW president Gary Jones pleaded guilty to the use of union money to pay personal spending and was sentenced to 28 months in prison in 2021, it is not surprising that members closely monitor the wages of managers. In the case of Fain, while his gross salary was $ 229,514, the total union payments, including the official disbursements of companies, reached $ 274,407 in 2024.

As reported by the Strait Free Press, UAW members went from 370,239 in 2023 to 375,161 in 2024. This came thanks in part to its successful efforts to unionize the VW factory in Chattanooga, Tennessee, but remains from 383,003 members he had in 2022.
As of December 31, 2024, the UAW declared a total asset of $ 1.18 billion, with $ 7.9 million in cash. The union had around $ 300 million in total receipts and around $ 309 million in disbursements. Passives increased from $ 3.8 million to $ 6.7 million.
