Fraser named UAW president to pave new leadership era
Douglas Fraser, 60, the newly elected UAW president, says his main task is to prepare a new generation of leadership to succeed him. The Scottish immigrant and former Detroit metal finisher succeeds Leonard Woodcock, with Walter Reuther's era as a recent benchmark. Fraser aims to continue Reuther’s liberal, contract-focused path while facing future retirements of top leaders. Meantime, Maryland police report entertainer Bubba Knight of Gladys Knight and the Pips is missing after not catching a flight. Knight last seen entering a taxi at the Pikesville Hilton en route to Reagan National Airport.
