(Reuters) - The United Auto Workers (UAW) said on Monday Secretary-Treasurer Ray Curry would serve as the union's president after Rory Gamble retires from the role at the end of June.
Gamble will retire a year before completing his tenure, after steering the union through a multi-year federal corruption investigation.
The union represents hourly workers at the U.S. plants for automakers General Motors Co (NYSE:GM), Ford Motor (NYSE:F) Co and Stellantis.
Curry, 55, will take on the role on July 1 and serve out the remainder of the term until June 2022.
Gamble took charge of the 400,000-strong labor union in late 2019 from Gary Jones, who was ousted for embezzling union funds and sentenced to 28 months in jail.
Curry, who was elected secretary-treasurer in 2018, also directs the heavy truck, general dynamics, and agricultural implementation departments.
