In fact part of the SCAP mandates after World War II two during the MacArthur occupation was specifically to form powerful unions in Japan
- amazingamazing 5mo agoInteresting - but seems like Toyota in particular had their cars produced by non unionized group producing workers at least for some period: https://uaw.org/we-keep-toyota-running-workers-at-critical-toyota-plant-launch-campaign-to-join-the-uaw/ https://uaw.org/we-keep-toyota-running-workers-at-critical-t... 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
- AndrewKemendo 5mo agoHey as long as you can find a reason you are right, that’s really what all life is about right?
- amazingamazing 5mo agoHuh? Are you projecting something here?
- evdubs 5mo agoIs it so difficult to say, "You're right. I'm wrong. There are actually unions for autoworkers in both China and Japan." ?
- ranguna 5mo agoYour 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"
