Even simpler: What's wrong with enriching people who make a product that's
consistently better than competitive offerings, regardless of where it's
made or whether the workers are unionized? I have nothing against unions.
But, my own work ethic says that job security should be based on providing a
good product, not from a written contract which says I can't be fired no
matter how bad my work may be.

Obviously, there will be companies which shoot themselves in the foot by
moving production out of the country, to places where workers are untrained,
so quality goes down the drain. Those companies *do* eventually get what
they deserve, based on market forces. But, that's another subject.

Do you recommend the other big 3 American follow your lead in use Non
Union
assembly plants to put together the final assembly? Obviously, Toyota
management must be doing something right to persuade you to buy a truck
built with mostly foreign parts and assembled in the US by non union
workers.

You are beginning to sound like you support free enterprise, a world
economy
and completely borders. The workers in the countries where the parts were
manufactured appreciate your support.

You right-wing snots are hysterical, discussing which vehicles we have
or don't have and why. We have four motor vehicles in our household; one
of them is a Toyota truck. All four were *manufactured* by union
workers, and in one case, the "final assembly" was handled in a
non-union plant. What a yawn.

Why are U.S. automakers less profitable? Not enough investment in plant,
deliberately bad and dishonest relations with their workforces over the
years (including treating their workers as disposable), and bad
management.

You get the work force you deserve.

It's especially funny to read the comments about those who work real
jobs for a living from the 30-year-old snot-nosed dentist whose mommy
and daddy paid his way through school and who lives in a cheapo,
backwater community overstocked with non-working retirees, many of them
former union members, and who is therefore scared to post with his real
name.
