Theories on the Toyota Safety Scandal and Union Pressure
Two primary theories are presented regarding the intense political pressure on Toyota. One suggests the United Auto Workers (UAW) and the Obama administration are targeting the non-union automaker to force unionization. The second theory posits that the US government is punishing Japan for its status as a major holder of US debt, using the recalls as a geopolitical warning.
