Robert Costa at CBS News interviewed United Auto Workers (UAW) President Shawn Fain, who recently told Auto Workers in Michigan during a visit by President Joe Biden: "You know what the hell's going to happen if this man's not President, because we've seen what happens. Labor went backwards."  The UAW won historic contracts last year for 150,000 of its Members who work for The Big Three Automakers, making Shawn Fain the standard-bearer for the Labor Movement's recent comeback.  "This is what happens when Workers get power," Fain said. "When the Workers got this Union back, they were able to elect their top leadership for the first time in history, and we saw massive change in a short amount of time, and we're gonna continue to do that."  "You've shaken up the place," said Costa.  "Well, that's what they elected me for," Fain answered.
