The UAW gets its spanking.

It must get an independent monitor within the next 90 days for a six-year period of oversight, pay a $1.5 million fine and make potential changes to its election process after prosecutors found evidence of rampant corruption among top union officers.
"According to the consent decree, the union must also submit three candidates for the position of adjudications officer "no less than 30 days" after the monitor is appointed. Like the monitor, the government can either approve one or seek additional options but must approve one within 60 days of receiving the initial candidates.

"Once the monitor is appointed, the union has half a year to hold a referendum vote on whether or not to allow for the direct election of officers. If the vote passes, the goal would be to implement the one-member, one-vote system in time for the UAW's next constitutional convention in June 2022. UAW President Rory Gamble is prohibited from running again due to age limits and has indicated he wishes to retire."

As a former UAW and Teamster member, I like direct election of President vs. the behind the scenes selection by conventions. However I hope this comes with term limits of no more than, say, ten years.
