I mean, how can someone possibly be expected to work somewhere without 5 weeks vaca, 27 sick days, 47 personal days, full paid medical, guaranteed overtime...doesn't everyone get this?

Absolutely. That plus some help from NAFTA is what has driven these American auto companies to go south.

Why is Toyota able to make-at least in my opinion-a superior product and operate factories in the USA where-union or not the operating expenses are more than Mexico?

Just curious- the Toyota factories in the USA-are they not union? If so-bravo for them.
