While I sympathize with the workers wanting more money, I'm not looking forward to new vehicles being more unattainable than they already are.

    Hey, buddy. I got some news for you.

    Businesses charge what people are willing to pay. Full stop. Not what products cost to produce.

    This particular plant is making premium SUVs and pickups, by the sound of it, so already luxury vehicles. It's not like they're making economy cars.

    It's still going to affect the whole car market. A truck buyer might switch to a smaller car, limiting those, driving up used car prices. If workers get what they want and we get more appetite for car alternatives, win win.
