What's interesting is that nobody wants to acknowledge that this is likely a union shop producing parts for several automakers. After all, this shop was probably in operation long before they started making parts for Toyota.

My thought also. In any case, the media will make sure that Toyota gets the full blame.

People often don’t understand that parts makers generally don’t make parts for just one manufacturer.

In the last factory I worked at, our bread and butter job was making inside door skins for Cadillacs. After that our second biggest job was making some kind of plastic grill for Ford trucks. We also made door skins for Jeep some kind of cover for Toyota seat belt latches and some kind of ash tray part. There were probably a dozen or more other jobs that went on in the shop that I wasn’t aware of. If they didn’t need to be painted, I never saw them.
