These major manufacturers ie. Subaru, Toyota, Nissan and Honda cannot be absolved of the responsibility. They knowingly buy parts from these suppliers with full knowledge of why they are cheaper. In a lot of cases, they own major stock in the supply companies also. Often it is even controlling interest. There is a reason why Japanese companies have been so competitive in the US market for the last 40 years. Korean companies have used the exact same blueprint to establish themselves. Same for the Chinese. These companies do not have to deal with the UAW. I am not a big fan of big union because I feel they have overstepped their bounds and gotten ridiculous with their demands . However, they have provided the workers in the auto industry with a good living and great benefits.

I still love my Toyota. US companies have never built anything like it. If they did I would buy it.....but they don't and won't.
