There is only so much they can do. Every business is having the same issues with insurance.
Wages have been stagnant but so have sales and profits. If the unions come in, they will have to raise prices. This would hurt sales. Hyundai is currently down 19.4%. A union certainly wouldn’t fix their problems.
If the union comes in, Nissan should try to greatly increase the outside contractors. Most of the Nissan employees aren’t highly skilled workers so they should be happy with what they’re getting.
And yet Honda, Toyota, and VW have all managed to avoid screwing their workers. Wages are fair. Benefits aren't being cut. Workers are getting bonuses that put the U.S. Big Three bonuses to shame. They don't outsource their workers. And the UAW doesn't have a chance at any of them. You don't see a connection?
