UAW President Shawn Fain got a coveted spot speaking opening night of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago to share his message of fighting against corporate greed. With one million active and retired members, Democrats are hoping the UAW will help get out the vote for a Harris-Walz ticket. Organized labor's role in the election isn't just to bring people together, but get them to work with each other, Fain told Niala Boodhoo on stage at an Axios House DNC event this week. Fain talks about worker dignity and UAW's role in the upcoming presidential election in a special podcast live from the DNC. Guests: Shawn Fain, UAW President. Credits: 1 big thing is produced by Niala Boodhoo, Alexandra Botti, and Jay Cowit. Music is composed by Alex Sugiura and Jay Cowit. You can reach us at podcasts@axios.com.
