> They should unionize

No one at these Toyota facilities has an appetite for that. The benefits package and overall lifestyle for a TMMK worker is quite nice compared to the average person in the Lexington metro and the jobs are competitive.

Perhaps ironically, when I was in school, the biggest issue was finding engineers that would accept the pay which was generally lower than guys on the floor.

Well just 20 mins ago we heard that the majority of people at the VW plant in Tennessee signed UAW cards. Now this wont guarantee a successful vote but it makes the leadership give an honest attempt so maybe times might be changing for the Toyota plants as well.

Volkswagen is not the same company as Toyota. For all we know, work conditions and benefits packages between the two organizations vary considerably.
