Japanese auto workers have been unionized since the 60s

In fact part of the SCAP mandates after World War II two during the MacArthur occupation was specifically to form powerful unions in Japan

Interesting - but seems like Toyota in particular had their cars produced by non unionized group producing workers at least for some period:

Seems hard to compare since there is no comparison in Japan that is not unionized

But given that China is now winning my original point stands

Hey as long as you can find a reason you are right, that’s really what all life is about right?

Huh? Are you projecting something here?

Is it so difficult to say, "You're right. I'm wrong. There are actually unions for autoworkers in both China and Japan." ?

Your point turned from "here are some examples" to "here's a sample of one". And that "one" is so different, society wise, from all the other ones that I'm not sure is useful here other that "if you live in a society like this that's just starting to massively produce world wide in this sector other than a brand or two they were doing before, then maybe there can be no union workers compared to the other companies that have been producing world wide for decades across multiple models and brands"
