Toyota Motor said on Wednesday it is raising the wages of nonunion U.S. factory workers just days after the United Auto Workers union won major pay and benefit hikes from the Detroit Three automakers.
Hourly manufacturing workers at top pay will receive a wage hike of about 9% effective on Jan. 1, the company confirmed. Other nonunion logistics and service parts employees are getting wage hikes.
The largest Japanese automaker also said it is cutting the amount of time needed for U.S. production workers to reach top pay to four years from eight years and increasing paid time off.

unionize anyway. This is just what happens when they’re scared. Logic says they did it hoping they would pay less in the end, by ensuring workers have less leverage to renegotiate things in the future.
Individual workers will also have better protection from company misconduct and abuses (including wrongful termination) under a union.

They’re giving their workers breadcrumbs so they won’t look at the slices sitting on the table. Hope the workers unionize anyways.
If I’ve learned anything over the past few years the prices of vehicles will double in the coming decade as a “fuck you” to the working class. If you can’t beat em, starve em out. And they’ll be God damned if the CEOs will take the hit.
