Shawn Fain, the president of the United Auto Workers (UAW) labor union, actually earns hundreds of thousands of dollars each year.
According to financial filings, Fain earns approximately $347,389, which places him in the top 5% of earners in his home state of Indiana.
At the same time, Fain has publicly espoused socialist political policies and aligned himself with politicians like Bernie Sanders. (Trending: Biological Man Wins ‘Woman of the Year’)
“Billionaires have no reason to exist in society, period. No one needs that kind of money. And when someone’s that wealthy, somebody else is being exploited for it.” – @UAW President Shawn Fain tells @RonPlacone at a Chicago UAW strike, showing off his ‘Eat the Rich’ t-shirt. pic.twitter.com/pLUKPylIWz

At protests and rallies, the union boss was seen wearing an “eat the rich” T-shirt.
Ironically, Fain is very rich himself compared to other Americans.
Critics point out how it is often wealthy socialist Democrats who claim others should pay more in taxes and spread the wealth around. Hypocritically, Fain is amassing an enormous personal wealth for himself in the free market.
“Shawn Fain — who was elected to lead UAW in March and has been a firebrand proponent of autoworkers — has at least two significant streams of revenue, the filings showed, earning $187,259 a year leading a UAW non-profit training program and another $160,130 per year in his previous role of administrative assistant at the union. Fain’s UAW salary likely jumped well above $200,000 per year upon taking over as the union’s president earlier this year,” Fox News reported.

“The Big Three want you to believe that what we are asking for is dangerous and unrealistic,” Fain said. (Trending: NFL Legend Crushes Trans Activists)
“What is truly unrealistic is to keep making record profits year after year and then think that the workers who made those profits are just going to settle for scraps. What is truly dangerous is for corporations and the billionaire class to continue making out like bandits while the working class gets left further and further behind.”
“That is why these companies and the corporate media are so desperate to try and convince the American people that unions are the problem,” he continued.

“We are not the problem. This so-called ‘competition’ is the problem. Corporate greed is the problem. Our solidarity is the solution.”
“They look at me and they see some redneck from Indiana,” Fain said during a rally. “They look at you and see somebody they would never have over for dinner or let ride on their yacht or let fly on their private jet. They think they know us. But us autoworkers know better.”
