Indeed, the major reason the UAW has had trouble breaking into the Japanese plants is that they are paying their workers a similar wage to the union plants.

Actually, there are unions in Japanese auto plants. The difference is that rather than being protectionist organizations that use violence and government coercion to try to benefit a few members at the expense of everyone else in society, Japanese unions typically understand actual economics, that wages rise with productivity, and hence the unions work *with* employers to increase productivity.
