When I was young and mostly broke, I was in the market for a new car. Someone told me something like, “buy American and support the workers”. I said to them, “I’m going to buy a less reliable car for more money so I can make sure and pay some factory worker 100k for doing factory worker stuff while I’m basically broke, no thanks”.

I have gone on after that to buy American vehicles but it was because quality came up.

Meanwhile, Juan and his crew down in Tijuana will do it for 50% less and a 55 hour work week. Oh and as a bonus, no OSHA. Let's see which offer the auto makers accept.

The cool ones are made in Japan still. I think most US market ones are made in US. Union I would suspect.

The cost of their raise will be reflected in the adjusted sell price of vehicles. The average price for a standard full size truck will be $80,000 before long.

HR departments have neutered unions.

Back when a union could hold its members accountable they had some actual duties. Now they can't talk to a member without HR departments getting in the middle of it.

AND a 32 hour work week


I read somewhere that they still want to be paid for 40 hours on this 32 hour week.

They have to ask for a lot because they don't have the dough from repeated failures trying to unionize Honda, Nissan and Toyota.

Yeah, that's gonna be a problem since new cars are already not affordable.
