UAW to nominate King for president of union

DETROIT — The United Auto Workers plans to nominate top Ford Motor Co. negotiator Bob King to be the next president of the union.

Current UAW President Ron Gettelfinger is expected to nominate King on Wednesday at a meeting of local plant leaders, according to a person familiar with the process. The person requested anonymity because the announcement has not yet been made.

Union members will elect a new president in June.

Gettelfinger is following UAW policy by stepping down at age 65. King, 63, is a vice president at the UAW and its top Ford negotiator.
