Auto workers at a Toyota engine plant in Troy, Missouri, have signed up 30 percent of their 1,000 co-workers to join the United Auto Workers (UAW)—a first at Toyota, the world’s largest automaker, on the heels of the union’s announcements of organizing campaigns at Volkswagen, Hyundai, and Mercedes-Benz.
Workers at the plant just outside St. Louis build 2.6 million cylinder heads per year. Should they stop building them, it would cut off supplies for all of the company’s engine plants in North America. Toyota is still working to build up its supply of chips and other inventory, following pandemic lockdowns and global supply-chain snarls.

Go ahead..vote Union and let the plant fail and move.
Read the article and you can see why they want a union.
It reminds me of someone who worked at a plant in Mississippi.
They got one week off each year at the 4th of July. The rest of the year was work.
This situation sounds similar: if you don’t treat your employees well bad things can happen.
Toyota in Japan is a union shop.
Toyota treats their employees really well. Ask those workers if they want to be in the couches of people who will sell them out to their leftists masters in DC.
Fire them all.
they dont give up, do they. When it comes to the actual vote, UAW will get smoked again....
The quality of a Toyota will decline if they join the UAW.
“Toyota in Japan is a union shop.”
When did they last strike?
Trick question, never. If no strikes, then not a union.
“they dont give up, do they. When it comes to the actual vote, UAW will get smoked again....”
Agree, the Japanese are FAR SMARTER regarding the hiring of their workers than the US companies. And the workers they hire, at least a majority of them, will not want to have to move to Mexico and take an 80% pay cut to keep doing the same work.
“We want to close down!”
Oh Boy, Toyota gets to take orders from high school graduate Shaun Fein, all around half wit Oyrish gangster.
Should improve cylinder head quality straight up!

Bingo. There are greedy unions. But there are also greedy companies.
Read the article...?
I’d consider the source.
Note to the rank-and-file: Don’t do anything rash. Wait til after the election.
The difference is that greedy unions don’t create jobs, do they?
Hold the line, Toyota. Not one inch to these thuggish communists.
Not all the time. I’m in a union at a cooperative. We have a no strike clause in our contract. All the unions here do. Public safety overrides strikes.
That ain’t the kind of union that works in the auto industry...in the US, but yes, even the Soviet Union had labor unions, in name, that is.
Exactly, this should be the place where State Legislatures should make reasonable rules for business conduct. Like proper procedures for exposure to silica and metal filings. When the combustion engine is outlawed, only the rich will have personal transportation.
Speaking to workers on gas and diesel powered vehicles and parts, you are not going to have jobs soon, why hasten their demise?
