Toyota is raising the wages of its factory workers — all of them non-unionized — after the UAW strikes at General Motors, Ford and Stellantis culminated in pay hikes for unionized employees.
Why it matters: After reaching tentative deals with the Detroit Three, the UAW is setting its sights on organizing non-unionized automotive plants in the U.S. — with Toyota a possible target.
Driving the news: Toyota spokesman Scott Vazin confirmed Tuesday in an email to Axios that the automaker “did provide wage increases today” for workers at all of its U.S. plants.
Would be cool if they paid their workers the money they instead used to back the insurrection attempt. I’m still never going to buy one of their cars.
