Aren't they moving their HQ to the Frisco area?

There came a point that I think [company president] Akio Toyoda looked at all of this and said, 'You know, this may not be the most efficient way for us to run our business.'”


What are the odds that Toyota's president's name is Toyoda?

It's ALL union in Japan.


Japanese Unions Work With Corps.

Fundamental differences between American Unions and Japanese.

"olidarity House, Headquarters of the UAW

In America, unions are not organized by company, but are instead organized broadly through many companies, such as the UAW (United Auto Workers). At the height of their power, they had elaborate work rules, over 100 job classifications (for which workers were not allowed to switch tasks or help out in other areas even if currently idle in their own areas), and an antagonistic attitude toward management.

What was happening here, was that rather than focusing on wages and benefits, as American unions do, this union was focusing on keeping the economy strong in order to protect the job security of union members.  “The Japanese union believed it had a responsibility to help increase Mazda’s productivity, and improve its competitiveness.”

I applaud your effort in finding a link to a message board post that is 11 years old.

The best part of your fail though is if you click on the LINK that is in that post, you will see that the article that poster was referencing is accurate.
