April 4, 2026 // These rising expenditures come at a time when the UAW faces broader financial pressure, with relatively flat membership growth over the past several years. Despite these headwinds, the UAW reported more substantial gains in 2025, with total membership rising 4.6 percent to 392,447 members, up from 375,161 the previous year.

The report also provides additional insight into compensation among UAW leadership, with Fain receiving $276,378 in total compensation last year.
