Japanese auto workers have been unionized since the 60s

In fact part of the SCAP mandates after World War II two during the MacArthur occupation was specifically to form powerful unions in Japan

Interesting - but seems like Toyota in particular had their cars produced by non unionized group producing workers at least for some period:

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
