Funny thing is that's not really true. My brother worked for Ford and Visteon and now his company is a fortune 500. His job is to negotia try e with unions in those other countries. Even mexico has unions. Labor is organized elsewhere.
Unions have not outlived the oj r usefulness. They've become bad beurocracies for sure but they're still necessary
Well, ok, but it is tough to organize a union for robots......
And the company is outsourcing hr, accounting, it, etc. How many employees are actual Toyota employees?
huh?
Eventually only the small few who are absolutely necessary will work for Toyota or Honda. Right now everyone works for toyota and they are all paid well. Tomorrow, they outsource IT to an Indian company. Toyota it employees aren't part of a union. They have no right to their job and there's no union to protect them. Hr is next, then accounting, customer service. You'll see
Look, Sealy, I am a liberal, too. but the laws of economics cannot be changed by good intentions. There has not been a TV set manufactured in the USA since the late 1970's. If there were, no one would be able to afford it. In my lifetime, I saw Packard, Studebaker, Desoto, Hudson, AMC, Edsel, Mercury, Plymouth, Nash, Oldsmobile, Pontiac, Saturn, Willy's and Henry J disappear. Chrysler is now owned by a foreign company, and GMC builds cars that are crap. Embrace change. The steam engine is gone for good.
