The quality issues have nothing to do with the workers who build the car,

That's right. I forgot. The union workers are paid to stay home while Rick
Wagoner personally bolts the cars together.
Unless things have changed drastically since I last visited an
autoplant, virtually every decision on who does what with what and for
how long is determined by management. Design is determined by
management. Tools are decided by management. Training is decided by
management. Materials are decided by management. Assembly line speed is
decided by management.

Then what does the Union do?

And by the way, you never answered my question. Why did you buy a
foreign car built by non-Union labor in the US?

Smacks of hyprocrisy don't you think?

Traditionally, manufacturing unions negotiate to improve the wages,
hours, working conditions and benefits of their members. In progressive
countries abroad and at some plants here, they do more.

The construction unions are significantly different in scope, as are the
professional unions, such as teachers' unions.

My understanding is that the Toyota we have was not built by non-union
workers in the USA.

Why did I choose it? Because at the time I purchased it, the
corresponding Ford and GM vehicles were too large.
