Mexico has some strong unions, one of them is the SINDICATO NACIONAL DE TRABAJADORES DE LA INDUSTRIA. AUTOMOTRIZ (auto maker/manufactring union). Still, there are lots of cars manufactured in Mexico which are of quite high quality[1]:

    Audi Q5
    BMW Serie 3
    BMW Serie 2 coupé
    Honda HR-V
    Hyundai Accent
    Infiniti QX50
    Infiniti QX55
    Jeep Compass
    KIA Rio
    KIA Forte
    Mazda CX-30
    Mazda2
    Mazda3
    Mercedes-Benz GLB
    Nissan Kicks
    Nissan Versa
    Nissan NP300
    Nissan Sentra
    Nissan March
    Nissan NV 200 Cargo
    Toyota Tacoma
    VW Tiguan
    VW Taos
    VW Jetta
There is indeed a stigma that American cars (Ford, GM, Chevrolet) are trash, but I think that has more to do with a company policy, more than with Unions and manufacturing employees.

with all due respect to Mexican workers - in Mexico most OEMs do mostly assembly of ready made parts.

Engines, tranny, suspension parts are manufactured in US/Europe/Japan and simply shipped to Mexico for assembly due to NAFTA favorable trade agreement and cheaper labor for simple assembly
