Skilled Trades Have Different Problem by Mike Parker, Labor Notes
As in most auto plants, the skilled trades at Toyota have a different set of problems from production workers and therefore different reasons for organizing a union. A blurring line between the two groups of workers also provides some very similar reasons to join.
Here is how some Toyota tradespeople, who prefer not to use their names, describe the situation.

The first thing that becomes clear in talking to different tradespeople is that the rules themselves are very "flexible," and vary by department and supervisor.------------------------------------------- posted 6:58 AM :: reference link ::
