I’m shopping for a new car, and would like to choose one made with the least bad labour practices, if possible.
My reading suggests there is literally no good choice, but curious if anyone here has a perspective that could inform my choice.
Is there any car company that shits on their workers less and/or chooses contractors/vendors that shit on their workers less than the rest? Or are we just doomed to drive around the blood sweat and tears of exploited persons?
Shopping in America.
Edit: New to me. Used just as likely.
In general, the only kind of company friendly to its workers is a worker-owned co-op. Otherwise, the relationship between management and labor is inherently adversarial, no matter how much management might try to pretend otherwise.
(There are no worker-owned co-op car manufacturers.)
If they are at least unionized then it might be okay
That’s kinda what I was hoping for but it is looking like that’s just not a thing.
The majority of auto labor in the USA is unionized
Indeedy, however Ford and GM I believe are currently in labour disputes. Thanks for bringing that up, though.
