On Thursday the independent court monitor, appointed to oversee the United Auto Workers union after a federal corruption probe, issued his first report on the UAW. The UAW agreed to this oversight as part of a settlement with federal prosecutors in December. In the report, Neil Barofsky, said that the UAW must “take more affirmative measures to fully eradicate the strong remnants of the toxic culture that characterized its past and still remains present today.” He also added that he currently has 15 investigations open. The UAW did not comment on the report but President Ray Curry said to their members that they are committed to transparency and working cooperatively to monitor and implement even more checks and balances for the union.
