This opening episode breaks down the foundation of federal oversight inside the United Auto Workers—what the Monitor is, why it exists, and what authority it actually holds.After years of corruption scandals that led to federal intervention, a court-appointed independent monitor was installed to oversee the union’s operations, enforce compliance reforms, and restore accountability. But what does that really mean for the membership?In this episode, we dig into the Monitor’s mandate under the Consent Decree—covering investigations, election oversight, financial compliance, and internal governance. We also begin examining the Monitor’s own reports, starting with the Eleventh Status Report, to understand how oversight has evolved and what early warning signs were already present.This isn’t opinion—this is the paper trail.https://www.uawmonitor.com/reports/7
