2 more things of note: 1. People often start high in negotiations to take things off the table, so I'm sure at least some of the UAW's requests are intentionally meant to be thrown out. 2. Remember who has power over the narrative... it ain't the workers.

That is not a wholesale defense of this situation. Truth is that I know very little about it. I'm just postulating some alternative ideas about why these demands seem so extreme.

It wasn't obvious because you didn't give me a direct answer.  But I assume from the above that you would buy the car made in Mexico.  I would, too.  And I don't think doing so would harm US jobs, because I would have an extra $10,000 to spend, and a large portion of that would probably go towards US-made products and services.

It's interesting what's happening in the auto industry.  Tesla now sells more cars than anyone else in the world.
