    I think it’s kinda bad. This is a “look, you got something, so you don’t need to form or join a union, please?” type of raise.

    I hope the Toyota employees don’t fall for it

      Depends on whether Toyota workers were as underpaid as UAW, and they always have the right to strike for more if they want to.

      That’s exactly how it works. Capitalism reacts to threats of loss, it’s up to the workers to decide if that is enough. Sometimes it is, sometimes it’s not. But this is exactly what should be happening regardless.
