The horse has already left the barn. Automation of assembly lines has been a juggernaut for decades. Mexico has become an important car producer, likely more because its labour force has become more skilled and consistent at producing quality. Wages will slowly rise in Mexico no matter the more colonial attitudes of people like Diaz, Williams, Trump, and others. Gas fueled cars are on their way out. And, in the midst of this, Unifor is threatening to strike if they do not get their way - attitudes of the past, and of boys in a sand box. A more froward thinking approach would be to ask: What will replace the car as a form of transportation, as a source of jobs, as a producer of income and wealth?
