美国汽车工人联合会（UAW）主席肖恩·费恩周五表示，他轻松击败了主要竞争对手。
United Auto Workers President Shawn Fain said Friday that he had easily beat his top challenger.
作为总统唐纳德·特朗普的对手，美国汽车工人联合会主席肖恩·费恩周五宣布，他在连任竞选中获胜，将再获四年任期，继续领导这个美国最具影响力的工会之一。该工会在密歇根州的政治中扮演着关键角色。
United Auto Workers President Shawn Fain, an adversary of President Donald Trump, said he won in his reelection bid Friday, notching him another four-year term leading one of the country’s most powerful unions, which plays a critical role in Michigan politics.
选举的官方结果尚未公布，但费恩竞选网站上发布的非官方计票结果显示，他以约68%的得票率轻松获胜，而他的主要竞争对手里奇·博耶仅获得13%的选票。
The official results of the election are still unavailable, but an unofficial tally posted on Fain’s campaign website showed Fain sailing to victory with about 68 percent of the vote, to his top challenger Rich Boyer’s 13 percent.
“会员们已经表达了他们的意愿，”费恩在一份书面声明中表示。“这些结果意味着我们将对抗美国企业界，并扭转美国历史上最严重、最失控的财富不平等现象。”作为民主党在密歇根州的重要力量，美国汽车工人联合会在费恩领导下，其政治影响力在全国范围内不断上升，因此也成为特朗普的攻击目标。据《政治报》8月报道，费恩已被人联系，考虑在2028年参选总统。
“The membership has spoken,” Fain said in a written statement. “These results are about taking on Corporate America and reversing the worst out of control wealth inequality in America’s history.”The UAW, a major force for the Democratic Party in Michigan, has been a target of Trump as the union’s political influence has grown in national politics under Fain’s leadership. Fain has been approached about running for president in 2028, Politico reported in August.
费恩曾是一名普通电工，2023年在一场腐败丑闻后，以“局外人”身份迅速崛起至工会领导层。该丑闻导致十多名美国汽车工人联合会官员被判刑，并促使工会任命第三方监督者进行监管。
Fain, a former rank-and-file electrician, catapulted to the top of the union as an outsider in 2023, following a corruption scandal that resulted in the convictions of more than a dozen UAW officials and the appointment of a third-party monitor to conduct oversight of the union.
在费恩的领导下，该工会取得了重大进展：在经历历史性罢工后，成功与“三大”汽车制造商谈判，为工人争取到大幅加薪；同时，工会的会员范围也扩展到了全国各地的新工作场所。然而，由于工会仍处于监督者的监管之下，他也面临诸多挑战。今年夏天，司法部针对监督者提出的指控启动了联邦调查，称费恩滥用权力，试图为其未婚妻及其姐妹谋取特殊利益。
Under Fain’s leadership, the union made big strides: negotiating hefty pay increases for workers at the Big 3 automakers after a historic strike and expanding membership into new worksites across the country. But he has also been faced challenges as the union remains under the watch of a monitor. The Justice Department launched a federal investigation this summer into accusations stemming from the monitor that Fain had abused his power to seek special benefits for his fiancée and her sister.
费恩否认了这些指控，并表示他认为这些源于法院监督员的指控，是出于政治动机的攻击，与全美汽车工人联合会（UAW）支持加沙停火有关。
Fain has denied the allegations and said that he believes accusations stemming from the court monitor are part of a politically motivated attack related to the UAW’s support for a ceasefire in Gaza.
多年来，费恩和特朗普一直互相发表激烈言论。在2024年共和党全国代表大会上，特朗普曾要求解雇费恩。他还称费恩“是个愚蠢的人”，并告诉密歇根州的选民，费恩“出卖了你们”。在2024年民主党全国代表大会的首次晚间演讲中，费恩身穿一件印着“特朗普是个工贼”的衬衫，这里的“工贼”指的是那些穿越罢工警戒线的人。
For years, Fain and Trump have exchanged harsh words. At the Republican National Convention in 2024, Trump called for Fain’s firing. He has also called him “a stupid person” and told Michigan voters that Fain “sold you out.”Fain donned a shirt during his prime-time address at the Democratic National Convention in 2024 that read: “Trump is a scab,” referring to someone who crosses a picket line.
今年夏天，在密歇根州通用汽车公司工厂举行的一场集会上，特朗普称费恩是“坏消息”，这是为了影射该工会在2024年总统选举中支持拜登，后来又支持哈里斯。
This summer, at a rally at General Motors facility in Michigan, Trump called Fain “bad news,” in a nod to union’s endorsement of Biden and later Harris in the 2024 presidential election.
“他认为拜登或卡玛拉会非常出色，”特朗普说，“如果他们当选，现在的汽车工业就不复存在了。”
“He thought that Biden or Kamala would be wonderful,” Trump said. “You wouldn’t have an auto industry right now if they got elected.”
